Modelling: Cheap and Easy MK8 torsos


Duymon

Recommended Posts

Heyas, I had a few PM's for a tutorial on Easy MK8 that I had done almost 3 yrs ago. Here's the tutorial in a convenient JPEG. It didn't come out as I had liked via MS paint but it's readable and you can get the gist of it.

 

Practice the shaping and cutting many times if you want to make it look decent. Do not try this on your expensive torsos for the first time! :huh:

Usually I bend them once around the pen. Then I reverse the bend to make it softer, then a final time around the pen. Thinner Plasticard works better on this. just make sure to always use a round tool because if you do it by hand it can crease like paper.

 

Then you glue down the whole thing when you put it on the Torso. Super Glue > plastic glue here, just watch your fingers and don't leave skin on your expensive lil model heh heh
