I had the opportunity to do some painting this evening. Pursuant to my interest in the current Reaper plastics Kickstarter project, I finished off a test group of three orcs. Well, almost finished... The orc on the right has had the spear replaced with brass wire for a standard, but I have not decided what sort yet. The orc in the center is slightly reposed to add the left hand dagger; also a little test. Apart from the spears not wanting to stay straight, probably acceptable for bulk grunts at low real costs, there isn't anything to complain about.
I also finished up a beggar that came in the pack with the blacksmith I particularly wanted.
Looks good. How hard was it to replace the spear on the Orc? I've heard filing and drilling the bones material doesn't work too well.
ReplyDeleteNot especially hard. I put it against a hard surface and carefully drilled with a pin vise. I was trying to match the oversized plastic spears as much as possible...it would have been easier with a slightly finer gauge of wire.
