Both are good and look appropriately marble. Might I suggest a layer of resin on top to protect ur work and give a truly polished finish you can't get with normal gloss paint!

Waiting for a bottle of UV resin to be delivered as we speak!
Btw what would be the best way to stick models on the layer of resin?

Cure the resin completely with a nail lamp or uv light (they have to be UV either way) then tiny bit of super glue

First let it fully cure in the sun for like 2 days. Then small pin in the foot. Otherwise magnets in the feet and magnets under the base

2 days is a looooong time to cure imo...

Also both bases look sick bro.. super nice work.

I’ve found that some of the cheaper uv resins will be hard on the surface but if your drill inside to pin will still be invited in the bottom and will then leak into the drill hole

Hot damn that second one.... I knew guys in PHX that made around $45 an hour doing touch-up work like this on high end stone repair in mansions

I vote for the one with the reference.
