I thought these kits were resin. Looking forward to this build.

 

[spud]

afraid not not unttld it would be an easier medium to work with.

OK its Pinned and that was a small nightmare as it was my first. after pinning i seemed to have a gigantic gap so filled it and put a new bit of green stuff over and and blended it in, also needed to add a bit more of the belt and fix a bit in the cape thingy, so tomorrow ill give it a rub down and primer it again,


there was also small gap around the front that i dint like the look of so i filled that.


the heads have just a base coat of brown sand by Vallejo. i hope to make a start on one of these tomorrow.

Lookin' good so far. The detail on that kit looks good for I assume it's white metal/diecast? Waiting for my Erik the Red to show up.

Will be following this thread closely.

Looks good Spud . btw ,Milliput is the best thing for figures ,you can sculpt the shapes easier and finish it with a wet brush to blend it in with no need for sanding

Chris.

 

[spud]

Not being an explicit figure builder, I always wondered: Why all the aggrevation with the pinning? Is roughing up mating surfaces in combination with 2 minute expoxy resin not enough to keep the parts toghether?
I did a resin 75mm knight with expoxy and it's still holding on strong. I have a few 54mm pewter knights assembeled (but not painted) on my shelf. I havent't handeled them in a number of years. They are just waiting for my whim to return and they scream: "Paint me". In any case they neither lost leg nor limb! ... yet!
Any opinion?

 

[spud]

I tried epoxy first didn't do squat so i went with pins and super glue and its really strong now.

I dont like this pinning business pain in the ass to get aligned, i also prefer resin figures to the metal, but all the really cool ones are in metal

 

[Tailor]

..., but all the really cool ones are in metal

That's true!

 

[Grendels]

Nice, which head are you going to use?

 

[spud]

ive no idea yet John im going to paint both and see what i prefer

 

[spud]

Painted the first head. pretty happy with it so far, i need to touch up the noes and do a bit more to the beard

how does he look and is there any thing i should do to it

 

[Chris S]

That looks excellent Spud ,really nice work mate ....add a light catch light (white dot) on the eyes and then put a clear coat on them

Chris.
