Space Hulk, Blowing off the dust
Gettin stuck in sticky stuff
Ok so at this point 4 days probably wont see my Spacehulk entry complete (Just lost a weekend to a family reunion in honour of mums birthday so I’m Ok with this). If I had focused on painting alone I probably would have made it, but hey, I went all in and decided to teach myself something new. I had never touched blue stuff and done very little with the ‘stuffs’ in general before starting this project, and may not have done so if it wasn’t for an earlier comment by @bombkangaroo, in this very blog. I have to say its been an eye opener to both the possibilities and the difficulties of sculpting at this scale and I now have an even higher regard for those that can produce the beautiful minis which we often take for-granted.
1 thing I would like to share about my findings is that when casting small delicate pieces it pays to encase your piece with plenty of blue stuff and also to use some sort of vessel to contain it. A small container will up the pressure you can apply and help capture detail, and reduce spreading and warping, improving accuracy
As for pic above. Well at this stage only the 2 sergeants will get the generational upgrade as I do want to give myself some chance of showing off some painting before the end of week. I will at least have the moulds and blanks to upgrade the others later if I want.
