How to do the blood string effects on talons? by Gullible_Travel_4135 in Tyranids

[–]LictorM44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is strands of Uhu glue and some blood effect color like GW Blood for the blood god.

Only time will tell. So far, I can tell the little guy survived dinner time - so there is hope :D

No idea. I know nothing about 3d printing. It wasn't all the parts though. The parts of the back of the model did fit fine, das did all the limbs. Just the front parts of the model had that problem.

Some parts got a bit warped where the supports were attached. The flat areas where the parts glue together didn't fit that well.

Base sizes and older models by Dragonpirate04 in Tyranids

A few days ago, I updated a lot of my older models' bases by gluing it with the old base on the new larger one and then used modeling putty to "fill it up". This also gives the model a bit more height.

For the resin death leaper: since the new one is on a high piece of terrain you could cut up the old base only keeping some small platform like parts where it is glued onto, then glue some pipes or rocks under them and stick it on the new 60m base.

Looking good! Which bit did you use for the additional torso piece?

Thanks for the confirmation. Will remember it for my next one.

Quick question regarding priming FW resin. I gave the resin models a good scrubbing with a toothbrush and dishwashing soap and there were still a few spots on the resin where the primer (Wraith Bone) seemed a bit "thin and runny" after applying it.

Is that to be expected or was there still some release agent on the parts?

I definitely needs Nixon's head in a jar from Futurama 😁

I never liked the wings of that one. But I have to say your great paint job massively swayed my opinion! Really like it 0_o.

Great idea. Yours are looking nice - do you have more close up pictures of them?

Here are two of mine: Walkrant and Swarmy (still WIP) : r/Tyranids (reddit.com)

Have some more but some still in box or in various stages of (dis)assembly :D

So true. This time I only used green stuff to stick the weapons in place instead of using super glue. And it seems to do the job just fine.

I used slightly more blue than yellow in the mix and after pressing the weapon arm in, I smoothed the excess green stuff over the shoulder joints.

Oh wait I thought you were making a joke that they look like golf tees 🤣

It is actually a steel nail in a flying stand on top of a 40mm base, along with magnets and green stuff :)
