The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Engines are hot!

I probably won't cast other parts of the model, as I don't see anywhere else that I'd need to, but I'm not sure yet. I can't really cast the rest of the legs - I don't want the legs to be exactly symmetrical. Also to consider is that making a mold becomes more complex as the complexity of the subject piece increases - I made mine of the simple curves to work from so that I could make an easy one-piece mold. Casting the entire leg, with some of the shapes involved, would become very difficult. The feet are in slightly different positions, anyway - the foreground illustrated foot is placed at a 70-ish degree angle, leaning forward, while the back one is around 110 degrees and extending backwards at the ankle. Symmetrical legs would complicate that a good deal, as I'd then have to cut and re-position them. It's just easier to do it this way.

Gotta clean it up a bit. The spot between the fluted 'engine' on the back of the leg and the hose joint will probably get filled in with a touch of putty.
