Phil's Phigs Humans

Post by gken1 »

Well I finally got around to assemblying Phil's multi-part humans.

here are my results:
Positionals:

Linemen:

Ultimately I think I'll be using the linemen as Men-at-Arms for a bretonnian team and the positionals as squires.

Pro's of the Multi-part Humans: able to customize the poses a bit.
each mini is different

I used greenstuff to create a good bonding surface for the pieces, so there is some greenstuff showing on the mini's. I think it's ok since I am by no means a professional at this and actually just plain suck.

Con's: Ended the day with superglue all over my fingers since the shoulder pads and arms are really difficult to get in the right place.
- the torso's are slightly larger than the legs so there will be slight over lap there. I don't know if this was intentional and they were supposed to be centered on the legs, but I tried to line up the fronts.
- when clipping the heads off the sprue you have to slowly cut away the sprue or risk cutting into the head.
- some people suggested pinning. I think this is probably good idea for the torso's but the arms seem just too small to make this work....so I didn't even try.

I am actually quite pleased with how they turned out as it was my first higher difficulty modeling attempt. ........now to figure out that dwarven deathroller..........

I think the range is pretty cool, it's just taking me forever to get the things painted :roll: . When they're done I'll post some pics. I love the throwers and catchers, had, shall we say creative differences with some of the Linemen and I couldn't get what I consider a dynamic pose for the blitzers so I converted some other models. I will post them when (and if :P :wink: ) they get finished...
