A selection of bases based with this recipe 

So for my first post to this new blog I wanted to give a step by step on how to make my special formula of rubble paste. Rubble paste gives a great realistic and thematic effect when used for basing a normal miniature or filling in areas on terrain pieces. You can also grind your eggshells to different consistencies for different applications, a city would have rougher coarser rubble ranging from concrete dust to large blocks of masonry so a less fine grind on the egg, whereas a trench would be muddier meaning a much finer grind would be in order. 

 To prepare your rubble paste you will need
- Egg shells
- Thin matches or other small pieces of wood like coffee stirrers
- Shale chips, large and small
- PVA glue
- Black paint
- Flammable liquid like rubbing alcohol


The first step is to boil your eggshells and to remove as much white as possible and then to then dry them thoroughly. After you have done that take the eggshells and your small bits of wood and use your rubbing alcohol to burn them (this helps get rid of the remaining white and makes the wood look better for basing)

Next crush the eggshells and wood together until you end up with your desired level of coarseness 

To this add your shale chips, stones, PVA glue, and primer

I suggest diluting with rubbing alcohol until you have reached your desired consistency.
