Things you will need:

  1. CA glue (Super Glue/Crazy Glue)
  2. PVA Glue
  3. Sand
  4. Small Stones
  5. Water
  6. Paints
  7. Brushes for paint

You can also prep your bases by lightly sanding the top of them or just scratching them with a knife, this is called keying and helps the glues stick to the plastic bases.

How I got the sand and stones I use: https://www.instructables.com/Cleaning-and-Drying...
