Progress Log: Alpha Legion Warband: "The Last Surprise"

[Grotsmasha]

For this sort of gap fill, it couldn't be easier. The GS comes in a Blue Strip and a Yellow strip, sometimes seperately, sometimes together sisde by side. If it's side by side cut an even length of blue/yellow, and cut out 1mm eitherside of the join, as this bit will have started to cure. dampen your fingers, and fold it into itself over and over until you have a un inform green colour, it will be very malleable at this stage. If you're not sure how much you need, do a test run with blutac/poster putty to get the right size ball, and then attach it to the helm and squish it in place. It will take hours to fully set, so you will have to time to make it right.

As Grotsmasha stated, greenstuff is pretty easy to use.  Plus, if you don't like how it turned out, you can easily tear the head off and then dig out the greenstuff with a knife or tool, as it is much less adhesive than is glue.  If adding the greenstuff makes the neck too long, just do it again with less, or cut down the neck on the head some.

 

Personally, of the heads you showed, my first vote goes for the rebreather head, though the bottom helmet isn't bad either - don't like the beaky helmet, though (to me, beaky helmets look better on low detail models - on ornate models like this one they look out of place, IMHO).
