TroyPerez Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 My fist attempt at the steampunk Arachnid models. They have been magnetized and the bases include metal parts that they can stick too. Let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonwolf Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I like it. I hadn't thought of using those kind of washers before, great idea. I ripped aprt a couple old watches the other day for some parts for my Ramos crew bases. That mud is pretty good too. How was it done, if you don't mind sharing? Also, what magnets did you use? I've been looking at the Amazing Magnets website and was trying to determine what sizes I should order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyPerez Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) I use the smallest cylinder shaped magnets they sell at www.kjmagnetics.com. The mud was jus done with a resine coarse pumice mixture that I threw all the random washers and metal parts in. When it dries its pretty solid. I primered it all with a rust colored autoprimer and painted over it with vermin brown to give it a more muddy rustic look.

TimeLapse Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Looking great, I cant help but think about x-men when I look at your color scheme. Blue and that shade of gold Vary cool models. vary awesome, Cant wait to see the full army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyPerez Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Its funny you mention that after looking at them I was thinking X-men also. Might try to ink it to change the look of the gold. Yea h and I am very suprised I figured the spiders would be really easy to paint but the little guys turned out to be a bit harder than I though.
