Remus Ventanus. Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 hey guys, So while i wait for my order, i was thinking of getting a headstart on Lamiads "stump" arm. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this? I was thinking of maybe puting some wires in the end of the arm, but other then that im not sure on how to achive a realistic looking effect.

Memento Of Prospero Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I was going to keep this idea for my iron hands, but I could pass it onto you. There are some really nice bionic arms you could cut in shreds with guitar wire hanging out. Â Then you have the marine hold what's the discard parts with his good arm and beat some traitors to death with it!

Im not sure lamiad ever had a bionic arm, i think after his real arm was cut off, he left it like that. Or do you mean use the bionic arm to represent a wounded arm?

Ascanius Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If you have any going spare, the little round pieces above the barrel of a boltgun could be carefully sliced off and glued onto the stump to represent the broken ends of the radius and ulna sticking out - or, for a cleaner cut, do that and paint the ends white to represent the bones, then use something like greenstuff to fill out a "disc" around them to represent the tissue. Â For an upper-arm amputation, use the actual boltgun barrel for the humerus.

Memento Of Prospero Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If you are doing him mid battle of Calth, yeah he will have a stump sticking out, which you can do with plasticard rods. Anytime after that, he would have the bionic in place.

Remus Ventanus. Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Put the shoulder pads on BEFORE the backpacks!! Ive run into one issue with the eagle pads. The bottom of pad were the feather hangs down gets in the way of one arm, and the pad wont go on fully. Need to adjust the arm now Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307780-the-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/18/#findComment-4359868 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Rohr Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Use a blob of blue tac or the yellow portion of Green Stuff to hold the pack in pack, dry fit the pads, push the pack forward until full contact is made with the armor. This will push the pads into a position where they can sit on the model with all the pieces in place. Be careful to check for awkward gaps and angles, such as the pad looking correct from the front but splayed out wards when you see the back. Â Also, the nature of resin is going to require you to alter some parts. In this case you need to get everything positioned and then heat the arms with a hair dryer to bend them in a way that doesn't mess with the pad. Alternatively a little shaving on the eagle.

Ishagu Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 The Suzerains are tricky to build, one of the toughest infantry kits to assemble correctly. If you try to pose them very differently from the pictures on the site it gets trickier also. Â Try to fit the pack in place and apply glue to places it makes contact. Once sprayed and painted it looks good.

shandwen Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I left off the beautiful eagle pads and replaced them with mk II or III pads, as I glued the backpacks before the shoulderpads and couldn't fit the overly ornate ones. Those models are also the reason I pay a friend to build all my FW stuff now. It drove me crazy. Edited for readability. ..

Ishagu Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Try and see how pieces fit before you start gluing as well :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307780-the-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/18/#findComment-4360225 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remus Ventanus. Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 not a great shot, but you can see how the exhaust tube on the back pack hits the eagle pad. Im using greenstuff to hold it in place right now, but there is a small gap.

Memento Of Prospero Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Give the shoulder more forward motion, it will clear the exhaust and add momentum to your mini.

Marshal Rohr Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 You can also remove the bump at the back and raise the pack a small amount?
