Legacy40k Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've started work on a deathwatch drop pod, unfortunately I don't have the patience to order the brass etched inquisitorial symbols to stick on it and the box doesn't come with anything suitable so I went about making my own. So I've managed to create one nice drop pod door... my problem.. I want to field 3 drop pods.. which is a total of 15 doors.. This was netiher fast nor easy process. Anybody have any suggestions.. Of course casting is the obvious choice, but I'm not sure that the details in the greenstuff will be captured for reproduction. Here is the first one. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/Legacy40k/Imperial%20Guard/DW-Drop-pod.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmon3y Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 What you could do is make a green stuff mold. I do it for small scale things like shoulderpads and they work great. You may be able to do something similar with your drop pod doors. Heres the link for the shoulderpads (not mine), take a look and see if you might be able to do it on a larger scale. http://www.librarium-online.com/forums/mod...ons-badges.html Just scroll down when it comes up.

Scar Weaver Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I can't help you in your plight but I will say that door looks pretty good. Good luck with the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maligoare Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Very nice, I may have to 'borrow' that idea for my Deathwatch, assuming I ever get any Drop Pods. For reproduction, it seems a little large for decent moulding, especially if you are a beginner with the technique. What I would suggest is having only one or two doors like this per drop pod, with the rest sporting a similar, but far more simple =I= symbol. With some luck it might even make these stand out even more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
