Reaper Bones Cthulhu Conversion - FINISHED

[Klener Zorn]

i thought this post of mine could interest the ones of you that do not visit the Strange Aeons forum


sadly i discovered that the head is so soft i cant paint it with army painter quickshader ( because it wont harden and will stay sticky ! i tested it on a tentacle) ….thus the mini wont look similar to the rest of my deep ones !

 



i really did not like the flimsy original wings that come with the model so i went to a Yardsale yesterday and bought some shitty toy dragon who i relieved of its wings

also i addet a few more eyes , fixed the gap between the body and the tail , and addet and will add a few more tentacles to the sides

i really dont get why i have not seen any conversions of this mini before, the material is great to work with

 

in the end i think it will make a great Godling for any strage aeons game to come !

Dang -- sorry to hear about the Quickshade.

No luck painting the head in a basecoat then applying the quickshade?

im running a test right now...maybe it will work...time will tell...it definetly takes longer to "dry"

[Klener Zorn]

Nah...it doesnt work......its still not dry 
Well that sucks.....

im gonna have to paint it another way then

But good news is...im ready to paint it....its primed and ill post the updates here

What size base did you put him on?

[Klener Zorn]

What size base did you put him on?

Phrew..... what size base is a carnifex based on ?
The one i used is of my own creation but its the same size as those !



Also i finished the priming process.....so next will be details....a ton of details....... theres a lot of work to do still.....

Great conversion.  Carry on!

[Klener Zorn]

Thanks

i did some more painting work



now you can spot the conversions i did a bit better

[Klener Zorn]

UPDATE YÜAH !!

i decited to use Quickshader on this mini…even though there is a risk that it will react with the head….but i tested it again after priming the head with varnish and it seemed to work…so i guess it will dry and not stay sticky…..



Theres still a lot to do still….i have to paint the base…and use varnish to make some parts less shiny…..i think i will spraypaint the varnish on it but will tape up the parts that should stay shiny beforehand…..

[Klener Zorn]

so i finally finished painting it....

more pictures HERE  http://kleinerzorn.wordpress.com/2014/12/15/reaper-bones-cthulhu-finished/

i bought a new can of Quickshader...and it didnt stay sticky..... maybe the stuff i used was too old...
also i applyed a coat of varnish before applying the shader so the surface may have been sealed...and thus didnt stay sticky like in the test i did !

Stunning paintwork, like what you've done with it.

Nice one! 

In a distinctly un-nice fashion! 

[pocoloco]

That's one ugly critter! 

Thus great work!
