Wolftracks8 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Still along ways to go. This is my first attempt in over 20years! After losing an eye playing hockey, I lost interest in the small detail painting that's required for these miniatures. Trying to get back in the game though, I tacked on the shoulder armor, painted some detail. I made a mountain display base for him, but I need to add some putty where his left foot goes. Still have to add SNOW coverage too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimtooth Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Amazing work man. The head is fantastic. Is it one of your own making or a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolftracks8 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Amazing work man. The head is fantastic. Is it one of your own making or a bit? Â Â Thank you. The head and Terminator torso are from FORGE WORLD. It comes in a SPACE WOLVES TERMINATOR upgrade sprue. The srue has 2 Torsos with heads and 3 torsos for adding a head. It also comes with 10 Space Wolf shoulder pads. Runs about $30.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melekharn Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Wow! thats incredible! For someone who doesn't bother with fine detail due to losing an eye... well, you could have fooled me. My eye was swollen shut for 2 weeks after being hit with a rogue hockey stick (thankfully all the damage I received) but my depth perception was appauling during this time. With your mini, you couldn't tell! Its.. just.. wow! Great positioning, nice clean paint, and the spot colour just "pops!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when I add the snow to the display base and the gaming base will stand out better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolftracks8 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Well, He turned out pretty good. A couple touch ups are needed that I can see now that I've taken the macro shots. The snow, made from microballoons turned out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iacton Qruze Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 That is some nice snow. I've not heard of microballoons, mind sharing the technique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolftracks8 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 That is some nice snow. I've not heard of microballoons, mind sharing the technique? Â Â Here you go: Mix equal parts: DAP Fast and Final Lightweight spackling compound, Woodland Scenics Flex Paste, and finally Alumilite Microballoons. Mix together , oy'll know if it's right because when mixed it looks like cool whip! Spread it THICK or Thin, where you want it. CAREFULLY sprinkle microballoons over the entire area. Later, tap off and save excess microballoons. If it is not to your satisfaction, use super tacky PVA and spread it over the area to be improved. Again, sprinkle microballoons over the area. Looks great when finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
