The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Stormy weather

Well, after a bit more glue application, the 'smoke' is now rock-solid. I know because I've managed to drop at least two of the stormboyz this morning, and thankfully both the smoke and their fully-pinned assembly held up just fine, even the flight stems.

Here's how they looked when I was done.

And off they went to the garage for a coat of primer. I'm using gray for this one because I want to do a dark gray-blue on their uniforms, and I think it'll look better with the smoke when I'm done.

Please excuse my poor or inconsistent photography here. I've built myself a new workbench in the basement and I'm still sorting out proper lighting.

The tutorial I was using for the smoke suggests that after priming, one should light the smoke-flock ablaze with actual fire to burn off some of the fuzzies and char the smoke. I'm probably not going to do this because I do not like the idea of lighting my models on fire, and the cyanoacrylate glue I used did a pretty reasonable job at sticking the loose fuzzy bits down and together in smokey clumps.

Anyway, next up is paint. I'm probably going to start on the uniforms - I figure I'll do the bases last, in the event any of the wash drips off the suspended figure.
