Everyone knows tons of ways to make a cool fantasy base, but when it comes to bases for their modern and sci-fi figures, they always look the same. In this class, I'll give examples of ways to have sci-fi bases that are just as interesting as the models themselves. There are lots of things you can do that you probably never thought of, and most of them are easier than you think. This will be a hands-on class, with materials provided.
