MTox Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 So first off, apologies if this is covered somewhere else. Did a quick search and didn't see any matching threads. I've had the hooded rider for a while and have delayed painting it because its currently running without its fantastic mane. How have people gotten the snakes to stay in place? I've tried just gluing them and they tend to be a little brittle (understatement). I was going to try pinning now that my skills have improved, but they are such small pieces. Just wanted to get some feedback so I didn't do something I might regret. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twizz666 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I glued them all in place how i wanted them, and then used a small amount of green stuff to it's head and carefully smoothed it around the snakes. I like to think it worked well. I haven't had any break off mid game or anything, and i used a small enough amount that you couldn't tell what i had done after i got him painted. Pinning is also a good idea, but they are tiny little buggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombanjo Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Another path that may help would be to use a 2 part epoxy if you are currently using cyanoacrylate type. It seems to have a better 'flex'. Not so brittle and subject to shear. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMills Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Currently I have left them off as I don't like them did the samer with the reigns on the Dead Rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmiles Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I just glued the crap out of 'em, then bent them into the shapes I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
