#modelling tutorial

I’ve just uploaded the first part of the video process. I talk a bit about my workflow and explain the steps, so I hope you’ll learn something new from it!

Some step by step pictures of adding a book and chain to miniatures, for all your librarian (or just plain booknerd) conversion purposes. I have a full, properly detailed walkthrough with more pictures over on my Facebook (bloody Tumblr ten-picture limit) for anyone interested!

A quick and dirty tutorial on adding fancy trim to space marine pauldrons! 

1. Scrape off the existing trim on the corners.

2. Whack on a small blob of greenstuff and/or milliput, whatever you’re most comfortable working with.

3. Shape the blob.

4. Use a sculpting tool or something (personally I just used an old crochet needle for this) to push in the greenstuff from the side and bottom to create the indents. 

5. Press the tool into the middle and pull it out towards the center of the pauldron to create the middle indent.

6. Add the little hole in the corner (if so desired!) and tidy up the edges. Don’t worry about raised areas of greenstuff, they can always be sanded off later once it dries. As long as you get the edges of the actual trim neat and tidy, any bumps and uneven bits can be sanded off with fine-grit sandpaper afterwards!
