hi,
my magnus the red miniature misses a piece (right knee horn).
amy ideas on how i can replace it ???
[here is a picture of a magnus the red miniature...http://coolminiornot.com/pics/pics12/img4695049f3afda.jpg]
[note: this IS NOT my model i just used the picture...]

Remove the left knee horn too? Then it wont look odd!

well i am actually trying to balance this problem so by removing a vital part of the miniature will only make things worse,i was thinking of covering it with a hand made symbol i just can't deside which will look better for the Thousand sons primarch...

anyway thanks

Contact whoever you bought it from? Alternately, sculpt your own with greenstuff.

i am not that skilled with greenstuff...

Ew,that's not even close to what I imagined him looking like.

well he is NOT a space marine anymore.

He is a demonic horny space marine.

Hang on, isn't Magnus supposed to be a cyclops?

One-eyed and all?

Well, He IS pretty horny..... just make one out of green stuff. It's SOOOO simple. Even you could do it!

Yeah, I know. He doesn't look anything like I imagined though...He's got golden armor,to start..

But,back to your dilemma. Try looking through the chaos daemons model range and look at the khornate stuff. I'm sure there's a model that has two horns you can steal for his legs...like the bloodcrusher

you could put a simple scarab over the broken piece.

sounds good thanks.
and by the way magnus is not a cyclop but he has his right eye sochet empty.

It will be easy to greenstuff if you put a bit of wire into the knee to act as an armature. Do it in several stages.

1. Cement the wire in place.
2. Cut to length and bend to fit.
3. Make a sheet of greenstuff and cut a long narrow cone shape out. Wrap this around the wire and shape it to fit.
4. Let it set.
5. Make some more greenstuff and make the stringy bits.

Sometimes you can keep made Greenstuff in the freezer and it slows down the reaction, so if you put the model in a warm (not hot!) place and the greenstuff in the freezer you might be able to use one batch of greenstuff.

ok thanks for the hints.
