Wormstrum Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 They make me sad. They don't fit properly, and the closest I can get them to fitting leaves an approximately 1/8" gap. Good job I just restocked my green stuff >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werecat Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Ever used Green Stuff as a sort of mortar for your joints? Just put a dab of super glue in the socket, a (very) small ball of GS, then another dab of glue on the other piece. Squish together and, bam. A strong, solid joint. Sounds like that might be just the ticket for your Shikome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormstrum Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Nah, I was referring to the gap between the wing membrane and the rest of her body. Glued in as is there's a very noticeable gap that I'm going to have to fill in and sculpt to get her looking even half as smooth as the model on the stat card. I've been having bad luck on models from wyrd lately, both blisters of coryphees I bought had really deformed blades on their arms as well as having really bad mold lines that went across the more delicate parts of the model. I still love the models, but these castings are killing me. Hopefully its just bad luck though and my next purchases won't contain models that are so difficult to work with.

dsmiles Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Did you contact the Wyrd help desk? If the model is miscast (or one is missing, as was my case), they may be able to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormstrum Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I don't think that's necessary. Its a difficult fix, but nothing I can't manage. At least its not as bad as the black blood shaman a friend of mine got. The two halves were off set from each other and one half of the model sat about a centimeter taller than the other. That's something I would consider help desk worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I gave up and greenstuffed the miscast bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
