Oddly enough the display was sitting in a wire rack on its own, in the middle of aisle that transitions from beans to kitchenware

Re: C3G Horror - Orgbsane's Hobby Thread
Rebasing/Painting Arena of The Planewalkers and Speedpainted Mohicans
Heroscape is dead, long live Heroscape! While watching the crowdfunding attempt, I had been considering ways to rebase the figures to match my current collection without losing all the extra strength gained by having the miniatures molded directly to the base. Without some very, very precise cutting of the base stickers, it's not happening. Next best option was to cut off the miniature and strengthen the bond between the base and the mini. To achieve this, I bought a small hobby drill off Amazon test out a method on my Arena of The Planeswalkers minis, which I had recently been painting and using for the Arena of the Valkriery custom project. 1. AotP are often painted pretty poorly around their feet. While I wasn't going to repaint the prepainted models, I did tidy them up a bit. 2. Cut the model clean off with an Exacto knife. For the Lantern Geists, I used wire cutters to clip the base away and put them on the usual Trexy3d base. Fair warning, clipping them did cause deadly shards of plastic to fly everywhere. 3. Next up, I used the hobby driller to drill holes into the base and one of the model's feet. I used an unpowered drill because I was worried about making sure I had absolute control over it. I was concerned it might not work on the harder and more brittle 3d prints, but it did! You can see the Mohicans based with this method below. 4. Now, I just needed a connector. Naturally, I used the most obvious material, a used incense stick. Hear me out lol. The piece is short enough that it's not in danger of snapping, and soft enough that it can be slightly large than the hole, which allows for extra strength after it gets covered in superglue and pushed in. 5. While the superglued incense stick is drying in the model's foot, I drilled a hole in the base and gave the edges three to four coats of Army Painter Leather Brown, which is an exact match for Heroscape bases. The base's plastic was not meant to be painted and it will scrap off easily, so I had to be careful until it was coated with varnish. 6. Lastly, I put the sticker on, poked the hole, and that it's it! Now the model just needs a bit of superglue on the feet, and once the stick is pushed into the base, I added a drop of superglue from the underside as well. Here's a few pictures of everyone based and painted! I left the squads pretty simple, but I was a bit more, ah, ambitious with Ozuul. I loved the gravity theme, so I tried to give him a black hole/galaxy theme, with mixed results. I don't dislike it per se, I think he looks decent from a distance, but I might try to refine some methods and eventually give Ozuul a remaster. Lastly, I got a batch of Mohicans done. Not much to say here except it was another rousing success for speedpaints, I finished all nine in a couple hours! I'm considering buying a 3D printer and if I do, I'll be looking to get at least 4 of every common squad, and you can bet speedpaint will be with me every step of the way . @caps I used your recommended mix of water and runic grey to wash them, and I was very happy with the results! That will probably be my go-to wash now, so thanks for that My Trade Thread (Currently Inactive) http://www.heroscapers.com/community...ad.php?t=47793 My Painting/Hobby thread https://www.heroscapers.com/communit...23#post2530223 Free Miniatures: Pay It Forward https://www.heroscapers.com/communit...58#post2539758 Last edited by orgsbane; November 18th, 2022 at 03:26 PM. |

Re: AotV Rebasing/Painting, Mohicans - Orgbsane's Hobby Thre
I don't think I recommended water mixed with runic grey (since I don't have runic grey) though I have done watered down speed paints as washes before with mixed results.

no I did not intend that pun. I did not even see it until you pointed it out.
