The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Upward and Onward

 

I've hooked the legs together with a center plastic piece from an old walking toy I had laying around - it's the right width, which is good. The putty is there to reinforce the ton of glue that is attaching these legs together, as they are a touch on the heavy side and hard to lock in that pose. Hopefully when it all dries it'll be solid enough to start building ontop of. None of that putty should really be visible when the whole thing is said and done, it's just a structural thing - the torso ontop and the armor skirting will prevent people from looking too far up under it to begin with. The legs also ended up leaning over to the back leg's side a bit (check the shot from the front), but I don't actually mind it, as it seems to give the whole thing a bit more canter and attitude than if it was just perpendicular to the ground.

As you can see, I cut another cylindrical frame for the body, but I really don't know if I should even bother doing that. It just seems like entire curved surface doesn't fit it properly - maybe it's because it doesn't have the armor plating to reduce the curves down and bulk it up, I don't know. I'm not sure where to go from here - I could try building something like a half-circle ontop of the black center piece between the legs and working from there, but I'm not sure.

This cardboard needs a bit of cleaning up.I wrapped plasticard around the outside, but the cardboard I used as a base is 'hairy' and won't stay as a clean edge, if you know what I mean.
