Rules: 1) Post a picture of an unpainted/primed Corvus Belli miniature you pledge to paint. 2) Paint it within the month, post your proof (PICS or it DID NOT happen). 3) Rinse and repeat as much as you like. 4) You can re-pledge a miniature next month if you didn't finish it. 5) Enjoy and learn! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perdón por el retraso, y por abrir tarde el hilo también... Reglas: 1) Postea una foto de la miniatura de Corvus Belli sin pintar o imprimada que te comprometas a pintar. 2) Píntala dentro del mes, postea unas fotos del resultado. 3) Pinta todo lo que quieras. 4) Puedes repetir una miniatura si no la has terminado. 5) Divierte y aprende!
Ok, I finally get the brush out after quite some time so I re-pledge the two Aragoto Senkenbutai that finally get stripped. The bad news is, I loose two parts during the process. The good news is, as it's a pair I was able to replicate the missing part using oyumaru putty to mold them and green stuff to make them. It's an opportunity to show @Space Ranger what even someone like me can easy use it. Also, I had to re-glue everything and struggled to get anything metal sticking together after several attempts. I ended opening a new superglue bottle and astonishingly (not) everything stick together at the first try.
That sure looks very much like the originals in design. Is Oyumaru putty different from green stuff? What makes it better and worth buying compared to other types of putty for purposes like casting?
You're confused. Oyumaru, or other equivalent brands like Blue Stuff or Instant Mold is a thermoplastic. You heat the substance on near-boiling water until it softens, squeeze it on a piece to duplicate, wait for it to cool (or dunk it in cold water or put it in the freezer or whatever). The plastic hardens and you have a quick and dirty mold of the thing, which you use with greenstuff, milliput or whatever (not recommended with resins that heat up as it will warp the mold of course). Then you throw it in hot water again and make a new mold, ad infinitum. Here's a video: For ease of reproduction on our tiny pieces, a mold made with lego bricks is recommended.
Ah my bad. I remember this stuff now. I have some of it that I purchased a long time ago. I only saw the green stuff parts and didn't make the connection. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
That's it. I usually use milliput but for such parts I found the plastic finish of green stuff more appropriate here.
