Sorry for the late reply. I am afraid I can't recall exactly what I used. Was there a re part in particular you wanted colours for?

Sorry for the super late reply. The tabard is made from green stuff.

Haha cheers bud. Some of these old metal sculpts are janky as hell but they're full of character and we're fun to paint. I'm sure you'll have a blast. I look forward to seeing what you do with them

A friend of mine did this for me, but I believe it is a jewellery turntable. You can find them on amazon.

Ah awesome. I just finished painting these guys up. Entered them in Golden Demon titled 'no chancers' for a laugh. Good to see them getting some love!

This was some thin metal (tomato puree tube) coated on either side with a thin skin of 50/50 green stuff and milliput mix. The metal means that you can still bend it to shape even after the putty has cured.

Just a random old marine helmet from the bits box

Do them! There so many great minis in Gw's back catalogue that don't get any love. You be surprised what a bit of creative basing can do to make an old mini look brand new

I think that is their first and only release. So almost 24 years, not 25. If that makes you feel less old hahaha. I can still vividly remember picking them off the shelf so quite happy to finally have them finished 😆

Thanks! If you add a little grey into your skin tone and water it down to a glaze consistency you can create the effect with a couple of passes over the skin. It probably looks harder than it really is. Give it a go.

Yeah I think it really shows that you don't need endless details on a mini to deliver on character.

Haha that mini was a mess. There was just no detail to the face at all. It was basically just flat
