What are Cork Basing Rocks?
Cork Basing Rocks are fragments of organic cork material designed to mimic natural elements such as soil, debris, sand, railroad ballast or just plain trash on miniature bases and dioramas. This natural material is lightweight, easy to apply, and absorbs glue, paint and varnish effectively. This absorption allows for unique textures and effects to be achieved with minimal effort, making cork an essential tool in any hobbyist's toolbox.
Each 200ml container of Cork Basing Rocks includes a range of sizes and shapes, ideal for creating rugged terrain, rocky landscapes or desert-inspired textures. With their natural look and versatility, they are perfect for projects ranging from wargame battlefields to architectural model building.
Why use Cork Basing Rocks?
Using them elevates the realism of your miniature bases and scenic projects. Here's why they're an indispensable material:
- Natural Texture: Their organic composition mimics real debris and rocks, making them perfect for natural or weathered effects.
- Customizable: Mix with glue, paint or varnish to create unique finishes, from desert sand to rocky outposts.
- Easy application: Light and flexible material that easily adheres to any surface with standard adhesive.

Areas of use:
They are incredibly versatile and suitable for a variety of hobby projects. Some popular uses include:

-
Dioramas and Scenery: Diorama builders can quickly and effectively mimic natural landscapes using these materials. From rocky deserts to mountainous terrain, they blend seamlessly into any environment.

Railway modeling: Depending on the grits and scales, they can be used as railway ballast or to create realistic gravel around train tracks, adding detail and authenticity to models.
