Ahmato Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Looks really sweet mate, although some of the highlights are a bit stark for my liking. :lol: What is the base made from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother apocalyptic Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 hey, thanks a bunch.. the base is made for some sort of Polysterene foam. Unfortunatly it smelted a bit from the spray paint, and this was then mounted on a 40 mm base, and some grass and pebbles was added! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmato Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Thanks, I think I'll have to give it a go! As for spray-painting polystyrene, I do it normally, as I love the effect it pulls off :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Clean up the border of the base and I think I can see some flash on the lower edge of the base. A clean presentation can result in higher bids. A tip for the black: Your highlights look a bit messy. If you want to inprove that a bit then you can take some black paint (and add a bit of grey if you want) and thinn it much (5:1 to 10:1) it depends on the paint. Use that to glaze near the highlights or even over the highlights. The surface tension of the water should push the pigments from the edge where you have your highlights. That should darken the stray brush strokes and leave the highlights relativly intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Since the base idea was raised up (being polystyrene) aside from the effect of the spray can melting the material, was there any additional issues (in terms of the material melting) when the mini was glued on? Im thinking about using thin sheets of polystyrene for some possible basing ideas (hand painted, not spray can'd) and i was just wondering if super glue would have any detrimental effects to the material (post painting).

ironloki Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Im loving his teeth :unsure:. The scroll work also looks very lovely. Nice stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother apocalyptic Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 mario - thanks for the advise, as i said on another forum, I didnt see the paint on the base... The Angelus Sanctus - No, my super glue didnt have any effect on the polysterene.. I just pushed the model down where i wanted him to stand, to get a mark in the base, and then glued him on. ironloki - thanks, I had quite a horrible time getting his teeth done.. but the scrolls aint a problem any more..

The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Woo! Thanks for the info Bro apocalyptic. Ill be sure to keep that in mind when i want to try and make some semi decent bases for my Sisters rather than trying to work on plasticard.
