Brother Captain Andrecus Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 This is the WIP slimepool that I'm working on right now. I was asking for advice on how to paint toxic slime over on the PCA Questions forum, and I promised I'd post the slimepool on the WIP forum, so here it is!!! I sprayed a foam tray with some Krylon H20 spraypaint 2 nights ago, then put down the first coat of slime after it had dried... A picture of the sprayed foam with the spray I used: http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/Picture002.jpg Then, I used dragonforge's advised method, namely mixing some Testors oil paint in with some Water Effects, and spludging it down in the holes in the tray. Sadly, I forgot to photograph the second stage, so no pics of the basecoat. I let it dry overnight, then came back to it at about lunch-time the next day. I mixed up a batch with Goblin Green and Water effects and painted it over the basecoat. Then I let it dry. I have no pictures of this either... Then I squeezed out some more Water Effects onto the dried Goblin Green coat, and spread it out. That shows it spread out. http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/ModellingStuff4207.jpg Then I went to bed. And tonight, I added another coat and started work on the pieces of stuff that'll be stuck in the pool... I'm going for one of those skulls with a bolt hole in it, that you;re supposed to stick at the feet of your AoBR termies. I had to pry it from the Termi's base, lol. I also salvaged a head from the Brettonian Knights of the Realm boxed set from WHFB. I shaved its hair off, gave it a broken nose and a scar across its head, and stuck it in the slimepool across from the skull. It's s'posed to be the head of an idiotic servitor who fell into the slimepool while on an errand. (Hence the scar, because servitors are lobotomized, and have their brains replaced with computers...) http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/ModellingStuff4210.jpg I then proceeded to make a servitor claw, inspired by the one in the Codex (You know, the Servitor in the Codex entry's pic has a big claw thingy) out of greenstuff, sprue shavings, and a WHFB High Elf bow. I cut the bowshaft off from the arm holding it and used the two shafts as the prongs on the claw, and I recycled the arm. <_< http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/ModellingStuff4212.jpg And then I stuck it next to the servitor's head, as if he's lifting his arm one last time, trying to get free of the slime. I also cut the hand off of another High Elf arm to use as his other hand... http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/ModellingStuff4216.jpg And then I stuck the recycled arm into the other pool... http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/ModellingStuff4215.jpg And then I took a Knight's lance, shaved off the banner, and stuck it into the side walls of the pool, like an overhanging pipe of some kind. The arm comes up out of the water and grabs the pipe, as the armored guy tries to lift his steel-clad bulk out of the toxic green goo... I bet now he;s regretting putting on that armor! I shaved down one of the Knight helmets, and stuck it next to the arm. I figure it looks somewhat like a Crusader helmet... But it might need some work yet... http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/ModellingStuff4220.jpg Another pic, of the servitor. I re-arranged the arms a bit, but I'll probably go back to the first configuration... http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/ModellingStuff4214.jpg C&C or any questions? Thanks, you know I love to hear from you! Edit: Spelling. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156680-the-slimepool/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamLando Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 One thing that you could do (and I dunno if you've already done it, since I can't quite make it out from the picture) is to fill thw hole with various amounts of PVA-glue, or similiar. I always use that for water effects. Like, the swamp I'm currently building: http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/9231/sumpjo1.jpg Bad picture, but as you can see, the PVA-glue creates different levels of the water in the swamp, creating a feel of that fat clayish water a swamp normally contains :o When this is all painted, it looks even better. -_- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156680-the-slimepool/#findComment-1831978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Andrecus Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I do sortof the same thing, using a product called Water Effects... It's like glue, but it isn't as adhesive, and it holds brush srokes and such because its very stiff... It's a little expensive though...

TeamLando Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Then maybe you should use ordinary glue instead, once painted (for water, for instance with three shades of blue) you just have to use some gloss varnish /for instancem GW's own) and the whole thing will look like water. Like this here terrainpiece: http://www.parasiticstudios.com/gallery29.htm He used spackle, but you can obtain a similiar look with a couple of lasyers of PVA.

Brother Captain Andrecus Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 That's pretty cool... Hmm. I might just try that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156680-the-slimepool/#findComment-1832510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamLando Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 You really should. I think the result will me much better. Not saying your looks bad, it's looking cool too, but to give some different levels to the sludge, like it's moving and like, bubbling, that's always an awesome effect.

Brother Captain Andrecus Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 So, tell me again? You just dump some PVA glue on, layer by layer, then varnish it up?
