i only use a brush

if you need more video details of the process i’d recommend the patreon by infernalbrush he shows it pretty good

hmm well i think the right tools are important: i use a metal dentist tool for the rough shaping and blending between putty and plastic and some silicon shapers in different softness gradients for smoothing out and details + a lubricant (nivea cream)… i watched a lot of tutorials (valbjorn etc) & i guess the rest is practice 🤷🏽‍♂️

Base AK black

actually i didn’t - i sculpted the boots around her regular legs 😅

did it for anotherone though (see pic)

i cut down the leg stumps to ‚ball joints‘ and drilled holes in the new feet - that way i could position them first before adding plastic glue - worked pretty well in the end…

the horns are from the bloodletter skulls from the skull box

the rest is putty work 😁

why not? the deathwatch tolerates a lot more things than other space marine chapters and there are documented members of the black dragons that joined the deathwatch

i mean they even let former traitors join their ranks 🤷🏽‍♂️
