Get your hands on a tiny miniature tank (maybe something from the FoW line?), convert up some boxes and/or attach some melta charges from the Assault Marine sprue. Done? :lol:

!!! that's an awesome idea. i'll have to find one that looks suitably chunky in the tread-department

unholysaint: If you've downloaded it from the site here (I'm gueesing that's what you mean), then your next step is to get it ready to print and then attach to your model.

 

I've got two posts on my blog that might help you.

1. Making your own decals (start with this one since that's where you're at now)

2. Attaching decals to your models

Mist effect?

 

Looking to have my LotD walking through/appearing hover above some swirling mist.

Was thinking about painting white/grey onto a clear base, or over a base covered in water effect.

Anyone seen or heard of something similar/better? Can you point me in the right direction.

If not, has anyone had any success and are they willing to post a tutorial?

Request: video tutorials for sculpting in 28mm scale, in particular human anatomy/musculature and faces. I'm tired of having such a huge weakspot in my, albeit modest, sculpting skill, but I've never been able to find any good quality ones, everything that pops up on a youtube search is normal-scale clay work or wax sculpting for dolls :/

@Paulocromis: I've never really heard of that, but my thoughts run along the line of buying some clear or opaque resin, and making molds of fire-like effects. Then, use the molds to make the clear "flames", which, when dried, would look somewhat like mist. Glue these around your mini's feet on the bases. Other than that, not sure man.

 

@Clockwork Thief: I would suggest rummaging through SCC's Raven Guard thread. Link. He has some excellent ideas, a wonderful recipe for black and white, and a ton of other stuff in there.

 

@Dude with a brush: Here's a decent tut on weathering pigments. Link. From my experience, I found that a brush with older, softer bristles works best. Also, just do a little at a time, if you try to get it all done in one sitting, you could end up doing the weathering a little too thick. I've had good luck with MIG and Tamiya weathering powders, though FW's ain't too bad.

 

@Grey Knight Purifier: About this size, or larger? Link

 

@Cpt. Asmodai: Las-Plas? Aslt. Cannon? Bolters? Do you have spare bits, or are you going for a straight 'ground up' build?

Ouch, lol. Just made my search a ton harder.

 

Well, First off, I'd suggest picking up a bunch of sheet and tube styrene (aka plasticard) and / or some thin copper tubing, depending on the weapon you're building, as well as some greenstuff (or a cheaper alternative) for gap filling. Here's a good intro tut for working with plasticard link.

 

Here we have Scratchbuilt 40k, dedicated to playing 40k while pinching pennies. There's piles of good tutorials here, just look around. Link His scratchbuilt Predator is down-right inspiring.Link

 

Nighthunter here on the B&C is uber-creative with his tanks, I'd highly suggest rummaging through his thread for some ideas Link

 

Other than that, it's gonna come down to grid-paper, proper measurements, and experimentation. Best of luck man, and make sure to post your results!

Sonova...just realized I forgot to respond to one...

 

@Yodhrin: Video's, huh? Dang. Well, here's about the closest I could find (it's actually 25mm scale)

From Part 11 onward, he covers most of the face sculpting. These are seriously long video's, but the guy is pretty thorough. Hope this helps, man.

Thanks, yeah, I've seen those too :P

 

Specifically what I like about the Forgeworld mkV heads is the helmet's wide "jaw," like on Tyberos' helm. I like the aesthetic of a helmet that is noticeably different from a human head, which is, incidentally, also why a tut on how to make the Black Templar's upgrade mkIV helm would be swell too! :lol:

 

But it's cool guys, I'll try and Bitzbox it or something.
