roon Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hello everyone, I found out an easy way to make beards and mustaches on our SW heads. When I was creating my Blood Claw bikes I intended to give them more character with beards and mustaches. While strugling in the past to make them look good I found out a very easy way my accident. In the past I first sculped a beard, and later I rolled a tiny thin roll of Green Stuff, cut it to a nice length to try and force it under the nose of the miniature. It looked not very natural, but was the only way I came up with. But these days I found out a better way! You take a little ball (Go easy as you have more Greens Stuff on the mini then you think at first :D ) of Green Stuff and put it on the chin of the mini. Then you force it in a way around the mouth and upwards to the nose. While sculpting the beard you can sculpt a very nice mustache under the nose, without making it stand out that much so the nose and mouth are completely gone. You can carve lines in the beard to make it more hairy. I hope it's a bit clear how I described it all, as I don't have any pictures of the process, but I thought it would be usefull for all Space Wolves around here :lol: . Some pictures of how it looks on my finished models: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d126/Wolfman_roon/Space%20Wolves/Afbeelding005.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d126/Wolfman_roon/Space%20Wolves/Afbeelding006.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146798-getting-hairy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf89 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 It does look a lot more natural. Almost reminds me of a spartan look though in the first picture... :P @ Max, so if your lord would jump off a bridge would most of your army jump too?... ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146798-getting-hairy/#findComment-1702834 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ragnarok Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Those look darn good. My guys look like they had glue on their face before jumping head first into a pit of hair. I will try this next time. Thanks roon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146798-getting-hairy/#findComment-1702861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmwulf Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I will also definitely try this out, thanks a lot for the hint. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146798-getting-hairy/#findComment-1702876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Oddly enough that is exactly what I did when I first sculpted bears on my Wolf Guard Terminators. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0224.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0225.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0226.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0219.jpg Its simple and effective and a lot better than trying to get a thin roll onto the upper lip and keeping it there for detailing.

Vanger Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 @Max: Make sure that your Wolf Lord does not wear a dress in a fit of drunken fevor, because then your Company will look like those silly DAs :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146798-getting-hairy/#findComment-1703361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The God Emperor Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 My Wolves are shaven clean, Wolf Lord only have a bit of hair on his head. The Wolf Lord before had long mullet/dragon tails, long sideburns and fringe, got in the way many times resulting in the his death. My new Lord took this example and shave most of his hair off. Nothings wrong with not being hairy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146798-getting-hairy/#findComment-1703911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flintlocklaser Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Nothings wrong with not being hairy. Nothing wrong with being hairy, either. Nice technique, and super-sweet looking models, roon. Next time you do one up like that, make some in-progress pics, you'd have the basis of a great Librarium 'how-to' article!

roon Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Wow thanks for all the kind words guys! :no: Im happy with how they turned out, and it's great to see you also can appriciate them. @flintlocklaser: I'll keep that in mind. Since I have the idea of making 2 more bikers, I can make another one that has hair on his face, while making pictures in the process. Now only decide to give that head to the normal biker, or to the meltagun one :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146798-getting-hairy/#findComment-1703951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
