The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Already Stompin’!

My initial sledgehammer results. More experiments pending. I think the boiled water might do it better, but a blowtorch or direct heat would ruin the detail - I want it to be a beakie, visibly, instead of a melted blob. While realistically I wouldn't ever apply that much heat to it to begin with to melt it that much, I want to be able to see a crushed imperial eagle on those chests. I think I'll go to my local GW and ask if I could steal one of their painted Beakies, as apparently my chaos-playing roommate stole all my beakie arms before we left college for the summer and I don't have enough to make a proper beakie for smashing.

I'm going to go ahead and order the smashed grot from the giant accessory stuff if it's possible for the sake of it, just because smashed grots are always good under a wheel or, say, stompa foot.

I'm sitting at work trying to figure out if I'm going to actually make the torso next, or the arm in the background with the saw+kannon. I'm actually not looking forward that much to making the torso, as it's going to end up being the crux of the model and if I can't get it exactly right it'll look odd. The engineering worky bits on the back are actually what I think will give me the most trouble.

Also, as I am prone to do, I am starting to imagine LEDs on this thing. Particularly a 9v battery tucked in the torso powering light-up eyes and perhaps the grot cockpit's control panel and interior.

I also had an odd idea this morning of sticking a circular saw blade out of one of the toes of the feet, right down the middle, just to add some extra puntin' power. I'm not sure how that would look, though.

Sorry, just mindless brainstorming.
