Glue'dHands Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Alrighty so I am assembling my little spiders now and I decided to be more creative than bubblegum + base = DONE. Thus far I regret the decision...Haha. You guys are downright kickass at this stuff, so I decided to shamelessly beg you to impart upon me a bit of that ass kicker wisdom! Be not gentle, for I would love to suck less at this part of the hobby. I adore it. I just friggin suck haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony LiPira Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 This is a clever basing ideal; clockwork spiders creeping in a junkyard. You could add contrast by painting the spiders to be shiny and new, while heavily weathering tha base elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmeep Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 while i really like the wall / webb of bolts im less thirlled with the expanderplug tbh Its a creative idea but the expanderplug really breaks the sense of scale for me for some reason. Cant really explain it Im afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracomax Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 The expander plug would be fine with some cable ties to the base(use string painted copperish, or metalic) and something to show electricity. make it like a steampunk van graff generator. I'd prime the nuts separately from the spiders. for extra goodness, don't shake a spray primer first, so you get some gunk buildup, to help make it look heavily corroded. The reason I'd suggest doing it separately is that I've found that steel bolts/nuts/washers don't take paint or primer as well, and need much thicker coats. this is a problem for the models, as with too thick a coat you lose all detail.
