Manufacturer: Gale Force 9

Basing Grits are used to represent all sorts of dirt, sand, rubble or debris. A note on our basing grit: All Gale Force Nine basing grit is made from a porous organic material rather than sand or other minerals. This organic material absorbs glue and paint, insuring that everything stays where you want it. When using sand (or kitty litter or any other mineral), paint and glue tend to flake off over time.

Rocks

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

This item is exactly as described. Small, varied sized pieces of rocks for terrain. Most pieces are quite small, so I mainly use them for miscellaneous rocks and added texture to a flat surface. Paint takes to them well if you intend to paint over them.

Great when used sparingly to create larger rocks and stones.

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I find that the Hobby Round Basing Grits are most effective when they're mixed together. I personally use a mixture of Super Fine, Fine, and Medium Basing Grits for most of my miniatures. The Rocky Basing Grit pieces are pretty large compared to the other basing grits by Hobby Round. Because of this I find that they are most effective when used sparingly on a miniature's base. I like to glue them on to specific areas when I use them, rather than putting them into my other mixture of grits. It can also be effective to paint a few of these grits with a different color when you're finishing your model because it adds some variety to the base.
