Dug the Quarrelsome
This looks fairly cool in the end, but I had an arduous night fighting with this Warlord / Hero.
This Ulf the Quarrelsome Footsore mini had no mold lines worth attention, was stuck to the base with super glue between the Wargames Atlantic dogs without the shield.
The Mistakes
- I thought I had stuck the metal model to the plastic base effectively, but after he fell off on two occasions during basing I realised that I had not filed the bottom and a little node of metal kept the model from glueing flat. The first time he fell off was down to me not dry fitting the shield effectively, forcing the shield into place and the dog stayed firmly in place and Ulf popped off. “Dry fit twice, cry less.”
- I painted the models but rushed into basing too early and grass was sticking to the paint job.
- I was frustrated at the falling off the base, put down a load of superglue and used the Army Painter activator spray. I didn’t realise that this solvent would make the paint tacky and ended up having to do a load of touch ups to the shield and the dogs’ backs.
- Super glue, PVA and activator spray equals nasty white streaks where the mixture converges and dries. To cover up a nasty white patch in the grass and help secure Ulf to the base I used a big piece of Flint. This also helped put a touch of weight on the back of the base, though the balance of the model wasn’t that bad to begin with.
This poor dog is blind in one eye but still a ferocious companion.
