synch148 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hello a friend of mine got me into playing Malifaux playing with his sets. Now I brought my own set (Lilith). I was wondering about pinning is it bettering to pin the wings of the mature Nephilim with pvc glue or just the glue alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harbinger Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I find the wings was modeled with more then enough surface space to give you a very strong bond. Not saying Im sure if one was knocked from a gaming table I wouldnt get some snap offs. That being said, dont be scared to dabble in pining. I used to be, but have started doing so on some small pieces and will say my worries unjustified. really is easier then would think. Most importantly.. welcome to Malifaux!

Huang Da Wei Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 if it is a joint, pin it. alternatively carry super glue everywhere you go, cos the little buggers fall apart at the worst possible time. I have only smaller models (30mm base ones) and I pin them to my resin bases and also pin things like arms etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synch148 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks for the advice guys i was thinking about pinning my miniatures. So now i'm just waiting on my hobby drill with pins to be delivered. I may post my progress here again thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehard Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I pin everything anymore. As a bonus, it always makes gluing much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Starrise Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I've pinned every Malifaux model I've built that has more than 1 part to it, I've even taken to pinning warjacks as well. Mind you this is something I never really did much, mostly playing 40K it was never really neccessary for the armies & models I played. But I highly recommend it, in fact, once you get good enough at it, you can do it w/ a screw gun like I do lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synch148 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 finishing pinning my figures. It took a little bit to get the hang of it (with cost of my index finger jk).

Requirement Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Good start! Be sure to post it fully painted. And don't worry, everyone loses a bit of finger every once in a while. Miniatures combine exacto knives and tiny drill bits and nerds, who don't have the highest hand-eye coordination reputation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordZombie Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Wow, very nice. You are off to a good start if that is just your first box set. Keep up the good work and welcome to Malifaux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requirement Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Nice! The mature looks extra great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Great work so far, but I recommend getting your hands on a camera with the macro feature, you'll take better pictures of your miniatures that way As for pinning, I pin everything, including some things people insist are impossible to pin (like the foot of the standing Coryphee, lol) as it increases stability. However, in some cases you won't need to pin as they gain support elsewhere (like in the case of Angelica who's arms gain further support from her cane resting on the base).

dunce002917 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Welcome to Malifaux! If you're not confident with pinning, you can try green stuff or milliput. holds really well and acts like mortar for cement. Btw, I love your Lilith starter box.

poisonfrog13 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Great looking crew, as for pinning I agree with the rest, you'll be happier in the end if you do it. Welcome to Malifaux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synch148 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 well working on my Molly starter and almost done! printing the undead was little tough for me and don't think it come well as i have envision but live and learn. Trying to figure what type of bases should make from my remaining clay wood or cobble stone streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synch148 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I decided to go with cobble stone street using light weight clay and sculpted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poisonfrog13 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Excellent work,I too am working on the Molly set (the horrors). My big question is did you pin the beast? I had a field day cleaning out the necks, ended up going the green stuff super glue drill and pin method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synch148 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Excellent work,I too am working on the Molly set (the horrors). My big question is did you pin the beast? I had a field day cleaning out the necks, ended up going the green stuff super glue drill and pin method. I pined the heads first. Then i flatten the top necks with a small file and angled pinned head to guess where i wanted to drill my hole on the necks so I can pin the heads. When I'm satisfied with fit i glue them. So you might want to take you time on the beastie. Edited April 2, 2012 by synch148 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synch148 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I am finally finish. Had rough time painting dead flesh trying to mix with the right colors. This is not my best work but I happy with it all the same.

dunce002917 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I would keep the black eye.. it mimics what a bruise would look like on a dead body. plus, enough episodes of csi, law & order and other crime dramas have shown some post-mortem contusions and bruising on the victims... but it's up to you. excellent work on the crew!
