Im working on converting some lotr wargs into cyber wolves and am planning on giving them armour plating. This is probably a bit adventurous for a first sculpting project but what the hey.

I want the plating to be edged in a similar way to how a space marine shoulder pad is, nice square edging. but im not sure of the best approach.

i imagine i do the plate first then stick the edging onto the finished plate, but im not sure how much shaping to do to the edging before sticking it on. So what would your approach be?

also if i want to make the plate amour shape into a spike, like a wind swept shark fin, would i need a wire support for it or is the green stuff going to be able to support it self?

cheers for any help.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/303276/1713620.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/303276/1713620.page GMT how would you go about sculpting armour plating with a similar style to a space marine shoulder pad? this thread for some good tips on sculpting different sorts of armours. The techniques can be easily adapted to making SM shoulder pads.

And the GS should be strong enough to handle being shaped into a small fin, however, the larger you get, the more it is worth adding some wire to support it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/303276/1713656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/303276/1713656.page GMT Re:how would you go about sculpting armour plating with a similar style to a space marine shoulder pad?
