Technically I do, but they're part of 3 complete Berserker sprues from the last edition of the box. Since I'll eventually be selling them I can't part out the axes, sorry.

Won't that leave very harsh edges to the damaged parts though? In tutorials I've seen they will specifically paint on a few layers to create depth and different levels of scarring.

Gibbus crosspost: Here is my sergeant finished, did this guy intermittently between watching the ever so rare NBA broadcasts to Australia. I'm pretty happy with him, wish I owned a few more colours but I think he looks nice, all things considered (especially after that rhino)   C&C welcome as always (drill ur barrels)

rzal posted:The head growing out of the tentacle is inspired. Hah. Thanks. Here's my Herald; I think I posted him before, but maybe these pictures are better? I varnished him and sort of like the shine he has now, it does make him look worse with a flash, but I think it looks MUCH better than matte varnish in person. I still need to make a light box...

Woot removed dead image link I actually did edge highlights but they're pretty subtle and the lighting washes them out. The shinguard in the 2nd pic shows it reasonably well. Fyrbrand fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Feb 3, 2015 |

My first model after 5+ years of not touching anything miniature related, be gentle.     Ps - Forgive the shinyness, had to use my phone's camera since my regular camera's cord has vanished  and I don't have a light box set up either.

Hello again! Unfortunately, full time job in addition to full time school is preventing me from actually getting my minis into a box and properly priming them to get them ready to paint. I ordered a bunch of new Warmachine stuff, too, but people keep pressuring me to play (since I got hamboned in an escalation league I basically was not planning to participate in because I have so little time). I do have a question, though! How do you remove superglue from metal models? I read around and saw there was some like super glue removal kind of deal which works real well - I wanted to paint my models unassembled first and then assemble them after they're properly painted. There was also talk of using nail polish remover or some other type of high-content acetone solution. On the flip side, when gluing models together, is it worth it to use that Rapid Cure stuff? I heard it reduces adhesion time to like 10-15 seconds from a fresh gluing, which sounds great for temporary assembly, but it also has the tendency to make glue bonds stronger, so I'm confused as to if that is worth buying or not, also. As always, great work in the thread, and thanks for the advice!

I dont know where you get your glue from but wherever I go there are 4 different types. The company lets the retailer brand it with their name. There is Purple, Blue, Red, and Green. The green is anti super glue. You pour it on let it sit and wiggle the piece free. Its also great for washing your hands. On the "kicker" I find that it cures weaker but I love the stuff. I use it all the time on metal models. Just make sure you are pinning your larger bits and the weaker bond wont matter.

I've been using an old bottle of GF9 hobby glue, so I guess that is the Blue label stuff.  Can't say I've ever seen any of the other kinds of glue that you're referring to - would you be able to point me in the right direction? I really have no idea where to buy supplies other than random places online, Home Depot, and my FLGS.

This is the brand I was referring to: http://www.bsi-inc.com/Pages/hobby/ca.html You have to have seen these around right? If not; find a better hobby store. Check out train stores and modeling shops they will have this stuff. The bottle you are looking for is called "un-cure" http://www.bsi-inc.com/Pages/hobby/accel.html This stuff is the poo poo. I love GF9 but they tend to be way overpriced. Also while we are on the subject, if you are gluing plastic to plastic don't use super glue, use plastic glue. You lose the ability to debond it but it creates a much better hold.

I no likey plastic glue. I think its because when if I screw something up and put too much glue in the bond and it leaks outside of the joint, it damages the model there. And it takes forever to try

PaintVagrant posted:I no likey plastic glue. For the amount of models you're doing, you should be using Methyl Ethyl Ketone. It can be found in the paint thinner section of your local hardware store. I started with one of these : http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?I=LXHE35&P=8 That's $3 for 1 oz. Then I bought a big thing of MEK, I think I got a quart for $9 or something. That's about 35 CENTS an ounce. When the little glass jar gets empty, I refill it from the MEK bottle. It works just the same, and when applied thinly it dries almost instantly. Just press together for a second or two, and that's it. You have to be careful because it can run, but applying a thin solution with a brush shouldn't be too challenging for you, PV. It's also a wonderful cleaner for your airbrush; I run a little through as my final step to make sure I've gotten rid of any paint. The one big jar of MEK has lasted me almost two years, and I do a lot of model building. It's what I used to scratchbuild my Valkyrie, along with everything else I've done recently. For plastic models, it is by far the best glue I've ever used.

I guess what Im saying is, why use a glue that melts the model in places that I dont want melted and takes forever to try when I can just use a thick super glue and kicker and the bond is still really strong, and if I REALLY need to pop the joint (swap arms or something) its possible. To each their own, Ive just never liked it.

Plastic glue also sucks if worst comes to worst and you want to completely redo an army and get the bits separated. But I mean who would do that, right?  Expect some pictures in a week
