I decided to try and pass the time with some painting. The nightmare got a bit of a touch up and at present has one arm. Presently he will have both. Below is a WIP photo of him and the little greenstuff ‘squiggle’ which grips the central cylinder. The rods/pins in the arms go into this then to help support them in addition to the glue. It should essentially provide another way of distributing the weight of the arms.
I also progressed the Withershadow Combine a little – added the teal/turquoise to the robes, drybrushed and inked the metal and added the brass details. I am going to have to write their names on the bases as each one has different rules.
Finally I cracked out the Hordes and began assembling the Carniverean. He’s had quite a lot of mould release powder on him some of which lead to a slight discolouration but after his bath it will be irrelevant! His torso got pinned to the abdomen and greenstuff helped there. Two shallow but broader than normal holes were bored in the tail and the adjoining part and a small ball of greenstuff used to provide additional strength there. Finally the gaps between the underneath plates on the tail and abdomen were greenstuffed and textured to blend it all together.
He still needs filing on some mould lines as you can see and there was a lot of flash – probably why it was on fleabay in the first place. Still a starter box for the price of the Carniverean alone cannot be too bad!
