Pinning - probably the third reason I never bought this model

March 30, 2020

I’ve been taking my time to build up the model and pin all the larger joints – not out of caution but rather because I find pinning to be a rather slow and difficult process. And this model really needs it.

For those of you who may be curious, this model was released in 2000 (according to the date sculpted underneath its foot). The sculptor decided that a top heavy metal model needed to be dancing on one foot with only its skeletal thin tail for extra support. Zacharias’ tome of Nagash is also being carried by a spirit which is held aloft on the end of a long thin wisp of magic with about a 2mm by 2mm contact area. I couldn’t even pin that directly. I had to pin through the wisp and into Zacharias’ back away from the actual joint.

There are some very large gaps on a lot of the joints so next up is using green stuff to fill them in (and hopefully make the joints a bit stronger too).
