I'm waiting until back in the states to base them, it just seems like doing it here would be too much of a hassle. Is there a way to make your own basing materials though?

I hadn't thought about doing a wet palette, but that makes perfect sense considering I have to mix all my own paints and once I get my trolls from home I'll need to keep the colors consistent among units. I'll look into doing that for my next round of models! Thanks!
