Title: Does anyone have...
Post by: Pinky on March 06, 2019, 02:45:42 pm
...a spare tub of the Citadel basing sand?  It's the brown type, with lots of rocks in it.  I've had the same tub for years, and I used it to partially base some of my infantry.  Now I've almost run out, and of course they don't produce it any more.  Does anyone have a stash they've be willing to part with?

It's this one:

Unfortunately not, I have been using Woodland Scenics ballast (various grades, but mostly fine).

If you know anyone with a cat, some kinds of cat litter have suitable shape as scale rocks.

I have a ziplock bag full of odd bits of green stuff and milliput formed into vaguely rock shaped pieces that I use for basing. Hopefully it does not get mistaken for anything else.

I need exactly the same stuff - I'm quite picky about basing.  I've found a tub on ebay, but was hoping someone here could help.

Have you got a photograph of the label? Just in case we see any?
