This is a basic guide to converting terminator legs into true scale power armor legs for beginers like myself! The final product is purposefully left rough. Depending on individual skill and style further embellishment can be added, but its not really needed for my purposes. This is generally done with loyalists, but I find chaos more enjoyable and more forgiving when it comes to my lack of GS sculpting skill.

Stuff used:
Galeforce 9 Greenstuff
Galeforce 9 modeling scalpel
GW plastic clips
GW needle files

Begin by clipping the hip plates as shown.

Add a ball of GS to the back of the calf area then press it in with a moistened finger/scalpel/clay tool. Do one at a time, and it REALLY helps to let the GS cure between scuplts.

This picture demonstrates why the GW clips are so handy. With a machined flat surface you can get suprisingly precise results with them. After letting it cure, use your clips to remove the rounded off torso join. NOTE: this model is for use in a magnetized set, so I will not cover the GSing of that area. Honestly isn't more than another ball squished down and trimmed

Now roll a little "sausage" with the GS and wrap around the upper leg. Squish, trim, and smooth in that order.

And here we have the mostly finished product.

Can't see the images. Though this is probably another tutorial regurgitating what has already been covered a great deal many times. I can already tell just by the descriptions.

I never had any problems with Photobucket. Heck, I was so impressed with the flawless service I had been given over the years, I brought me a premium account.

Then again, I am a very awesome and special person. So maybe Photobucket just likes me better then you guys.

Damnit! where are the images!

@Peter Wiggin, Please stop using photobucket!
