Shadowdragon Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'd like to get the plastic Rasputina crew box at some point in the (hopefully) not so distant future, but I'm really not liking how the wendigo is attached to an entire other model. For those who have the box already, how difficult would it be to remove the wendigo and base it on it's own? Would I be better off just tracking down one of the metal wendigo instead?

Dirial Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I don't have the box myself, but I believe one foot and one claw of the wendigo are part of the cowboy. I have seen pictures of a separated wendigo on the net, so it's doable at least. My main grief with the Wendigo is that that cowboy is totally out of scale. He is enormous.

Bengt Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 The Wendigo's left arm and leg end in stumps, so you'd have to sculpt replacement paws. The left leg is also quite a bit longer than the right, which might be a problem depending on how you decide to pose and base him. Difficulty is entirely dependent on how comfortable you are with sculpting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catsama Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I separated the wendigo from the cowboy. I used zombie hands and fingers from GW fantasy for the claws (you have to snip off a finger for the arm claw). I then made a rock out of cork and based the wendigo in mid leap from it - using snow to hide his foot a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowdragon Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hmm, guess I'll have to have a look around and see if I can find suitable hand and foot replacements in one of my bits boxes. Oh, and another scale issue, surprise surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carasz Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I helped a friend of mine with the same thing. I took the wendigo and the extra ice block that came in the box (from the golem I believe), repositioned that ice block (tilted a bit forward and to the side) and attached the wendigo to it, so it looks like it is doing a parkour jump over the side. Then I used greenstuff to sculpt the missing hand and foot. As a thanks he gave me the victim to use as a guild guard. Tried to get a good picture of the hand/feet, so the rest of the model is a bit blurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
