Krautcover Scenics — Soil of Sparta Basecover (140ml)

Give your Mediterranean-themed projects and armies a distinctive, natural look. Krautcover's Soil of Sparta Basecover is a pre-mixed basing solution designed to evoke sun-baked terrain — whether that's a Greek hoplite phalanx, a WW2 diorama in Southern Italy, or a Trench Crusade warband trudging through arid ground. Finely tuned composition of sand, gravel, turf, and specially mixed grass fibres creates the right soil texture for your project in minutes.

How to use

1. Apply PVA glue or basing glue to the base
2. Sprinkle the Soil of Sparta mix on, or press the base directly into the mix
3. Shake off excess
4. Seal with matte varnish or fixative once dry

Simple as that — natural, varied, textured bases in seconds.
