So last night I put together the Marcus boxed set. Now I'm not an expert modeler by any means but I thought I'd share what I've done thus far.
In a different game, I was making green stuff filled bases for one of the factions (Menoth cracked earth) so I thought it would be a good way to provide a nice, rough base for these beastie dudes/dudettes.
Miranda - Clean. Place green stuff on base. Press through. Done. One piece figures are easy!
Marcus - Same first three steps, but then it got a little interesting. Big ole shillelagh attached to itty-bitty arm. Well, green stuff and super glue worked it's magic and nothing fell off... for now. It probably helped that I drilled small holes (too small for pins) into both sides. More gap filling, green stuff please!
Anyway, when going with the arm choice I went with the flame and that took some propping-up but it worked out. Never did source lighting on a fig before, and may not start now either. And I then added the machete on his back, just for fun.
Razorspine Rattler - Here's the figure that gave me fits. The clean up process to remove the flash really made me nervous that a spine would snap. Then the tail was lower that the rest of the body, so some slow bending was in order - again making me nervous that something would snap along the way.
However, I made sure to bulk up a little extra on the green stuff, resulting in the ability to push that tail into the base a little more. End result, Rattler complete.
Sabertooth Cerberus - Easy peasy after dealing with the Rattler, except for one dumb item - I put him on the base off center. Guess I need to put a little extra decoration on the base to make up for my foolishness. Should be cool for when I have the figure prowling in a mix-up.
So, only 90 minutes to get all four cleaned (enough) and based and ready to go. Still a bit nervous about Marcus not losing an arm, or two, but I think the rest will hold well. Dunno how the Rattler will turn out when painted. But a fun project.
Recommendations - When doing the dry fit for the Rattler, make sure to find a way to make it taller on the base so that there isn't much bending involved. And pinning Marcus' arms is a really good idea Or at least put holes on both sides for green stuff to fill in and help seal the joint.
