Old Greater Daemon converted to Daemon Prince

[Sgt. Blank]

I've been working on converting and updating some *old* models to use again and decided I'd rather have a Daemon Prince than Greater Daemon.

 

Here's the original model, before it got the Simple Green dip:

I'm trying to add some armor and cables etc. to tie it more to power armor. This is the most ambitious thing I've tried with green (grey) stuff, and I could use any advice or suggestions people have. Here's the progress so far:

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Once the trim is dried, I plan on making it more ornamental and adding some rivets, and hopefully hardening some of the edges a bit as well.

I actually looked at the paint stripped picture, saw the line about adding cables to tie more to PA and thought, doesn't really need it. Then I realised it had already been done :( Nice work

I have a bog box of wacky old fantasy models I love to go through.

Those pads look cool.

It's just green stuff. My local game store was out of yellow/blue 2 part putty (green stuff), so I bought what they had, which is black and white and mixes to create gray. It seems to come out about the same as green stuff, maybe a bit harder when cured.

 

I mixed the putty, keeping it wet, and rolled it out pretty thin on wax paper, using the shaft of my x-acto knife as a "rolling pin". I then cut out two vaguely crescent moon shapes and put them on the shoulders as the basis for the pads. After that cured over night, I added the trim by making more putty, rolling it out and cutting it into strips.

 

edit: spelling

oh really? i thought you extended a normal shoulder pad somehow or something :rolleyes: did you add armor to his torso as well? kinda hard to tell. (if you havent why dont you? would add to the "previously marine" touch ;)

 

id say add armor to the torso (skip if you already did) and give him a staff or somesuch and paint him up. should be enough to make him stand out imho ;)
