From some time, I have been avoiding basing my minis and resorted to clear base tricks. The beauty of clear base is to be consistent with the terrain all the time.
Now, crazy people lurk in the Internet. Morikun is one of those. He's made crazy bases for his minis, and asked people to do the same to celebrate his 600k blog reads.
Here is a sample of how crazy he goes to make a base.

| The mon looks like Wilson... |
