@bhsman
A) What were the exact specifications you gave them for the bases?
3mm Clear Acrylic (1/8th inch), 25mm diameter, and put "No" for a flight base.
B) Would you be so kind as to do a step-by-step with your paintscheme if it's not too much trouble?
Okay!I'll do a step-by-step as I work on the last 4 tactical marines in the squad. No problem!
@bobx66 - The bases stick to metal. I like the idea of the sticking to metal. I stuck them on the refrigerator for fun last week! Also, you don't see much fogging where I glued the bases to the feet because I used just enough glue to cover the under surface of the foot (i.e. not much overflow).
@MasterSlowPoke - I did fold a large piece of putty over the head to make the shemagh and turban. Do you have a color shaper like the "Flat Chisel" one shown here
http://www.dickblick.com/products/colour-shapers-tools/ ? What I basically do is create fold lines using the edge of that tool. I can put up a short tutorial to help you later on.
@paulguise - Thanks! Actually to tell you the truth, I've never used green stuff. I heard it stays tacky and doesn't really respond to sanding well so I decided not to use it. I like to sand the things I sculpt because sometimes it is just easier that way. There is no reason to always do things the hard way - although a lot of us do it that way anyways (we love the challenge).
@Yggdrasil, Reecius - Thanks very much!
@Andaroo - Yay! I didn't know people actually read the naratives! Thanks for reading!
@TempusCorvus - The eyes are painted that way, thanks for the compliment.
Btw, I don't think I'll be making a sandworm hehe.
@Jihallah - Thanks, I'm going to need that encouragement for the next squad haha.
Here are the last 4 of the
tac squad. The brown is brown stuff, the black are pockets that I casted. I was planning on primering them tonight but I'm kinda sleepy now. As per bhsman's request, I will provide a description of my process as I go along. I was going to take a pic of my sniper scout squad but I'm too sleepy to do that too.
Sergeant Caleb (the rightmost figure) - Be focused so that your bolter does not miss its mark, be careful that you do not turn your face away from the enemy, be wary lest you lose any hint of ferocity in your fist because any less will bring you fear - delivered by the hands of our leader, Brother Caleb.
Weapons Specialist (second from the right) - Even without his eyesight and relying on technology to "see" the battlefield, he still performs better as the weapons specialist than any other in the squad.
This marine can use any special weapon and there are magnets attached at the wrist of on hand and at the palm at the other. I will just use this guy to swap the special weapons.
you thought of a paint scheme yet?
