Space Hulk, Blowing off the dust
Doin' the twist
So I want my terminators to grow. Inch forward a generation, but not permanently damage my out of print, torso twisting terminators, and that goes for all 10 of them.
So after quite a bit of trial and error and a little bit of me going round the bend I seem to have a solution. By creating a rough out of thermo plastic ‘Blue Stuff’ I’ve been able to recast in green stuff and start working up a finished torso. I have also a plan B using crayola model magic.
The Model Magic was quite easy to form, doesn’t stick to the base plastic but takes days to set and I suspect may be too weak for the next step, we’ll see. In the time it took the Model Magic to set (2-3 days) I managed to create the green stuff blank but the remoulding and subsequent remodelling actually took more hands on time.
Also it did require a little damage, I have actually added a little notch within to take some of the torque when twisting. The examples below still function as they should.
My next step is to cast these again in a mix of green stuff and a more standard epoxy to get a material I can file and sand a bit easier for final shaping. Then I’ll take another cast to create 10 consistent torsos.
