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:

I have just download the decal of Bran Redmaw. Would like to know what should i do next to have them on my marine's shoulder pad. Thanks

[ron]

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?

[Yodhrin]

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 :/

[ClockworkTheif]

Hey Everyone,

 

I would like a tutorial/how to on making Raven Guard Space Marines and all of the extra bits from the chapter. Anything would help.

[Dude with a Brush]

I would like a tutorial on how to weather models with pigments, how to apply and fix it in place.

[Grey Knight Purifier]

Type: Modelling

 

I'm looking for a tutorial, for scratch building a Bastion, with Icarus Lascannons. I'm kinda on a budget, and not ready to fork over 47 dollars for the GW model.

[CaptainAsmodai]

Looking for a tutorial on scratch building a razorback turret. I bought a rhino kit and didn't realize that it would also.have the razorback top hatch so now I want to be able to.switch it between rhino and razorback

[Hyaenidae]

@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?

[Paulochromis]

@1000 nice idea, thanks!

[CaptainAsmodai]

Ground up

[Hyaenidae]

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!

[CaptainAsmodai]

Will do in about a week I will have some extra lascannons and typhoon missile launchers so that might make it easier

[Hyaenidae]

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.

MK V Heresy Armour Tutorial PART 1

MK V Heresy Armour Tutorial PART 2

Hope this helps :lol:

[GooseDaMoose]

Yeah, I've seen that one before but it's not quite what I'm looking for.

 

Thanks though :devil: I'll figure something out!

[Hyaenidae]

Well, how about these Mk V helms? Link

[GooseDaMoose]

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.
