Combat_Vet Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Greets, I've been asked for a short tutorial on how I did my runes. It's a basic procedure but here goes. Step 1 - roll some GS into a thin tube http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010829.jpg Step 2 - cut a small portion of the tube out and place it where you want the rune (shown flattened) http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010832.jpg Step 3 - (Allow step 2 to dry) place another small strip of GS on an angle to your first piece http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010836.jpg Step 4 - blend step 3 into step 2 at the joint and straighten all the edges http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010837.jpg Step 5 - continue using small strips to add angles, blending them at the contact points http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010838.jpg finished rune: http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010839.jpg To do this tutorial I did the work on flat plastic sheet. The same thing can be done on curved edges too http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010833.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010834.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010835.jpg Continue to add small strips of GS to the mini until you are happy. Or go overboard like I did :P http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010826.jpg Hope it helps someone out there.

Stryker25B Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Now this is an awesome idea! I never considered adding futhark runes to my marines before, I might have to give this one a go. Nice work! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162088-modelling-gs-runes/#findComment-2210637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I would be remiss if I did not mention these brass etchings. http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/images/BE02-Runes.jpg 2mm Runes from Secret Weapon. An alternative for those of us like me who fear the use of putty. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162088-modelling-gs-runes/#findComment-2215682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Martemis Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 cool tutorial, but i have a teensy problem, when i sculpt onto a clean surface, with the intention of putting it on armour, it sticks to the 'clean surface' how do you ger around this? cos they then get damaged as i take them off the surface to fit to the armour Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162088-modelling-gs-runes/#findComment-2228286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 rub vaseline on the clean surface, just enough so it can be easily removed but not so much that it slides.

hmk17 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I use chapstick. Cheap, everywhere, and non-creeped-out looks when purchasing at your local drugstore. :P Great guide, very well presented.
