Troll Blood assembly
Yeah I may be avoiding something today….. whats your point?
I got more done than just the Skorne Base work last night. I also got ½ of the Trollblood Warpack assembled and cleaned. Now by cleaned I mean the mold lines have been filed or carved off. The next stage of scrubbing with soap and water is still needed to remove all of the mold releaser residue.
Madrak: Is an interesting fig, but pretty busy. I think they went a little overboard with his sculpt. There is a ton of detail and “movement” on the fig. But looking at him there is so much detail and movement on the fig I’m not sure what’s what by looking at it. This should get easier once I get the primer on. Currently I am a big fan of pinning, I pin things that really have no need of it, but I feel more secure with the fig if I do it. Plus I have a dedicated “hobby” power drill with a chuck that will take all but the smallest of the pin vice drill bits. That being said I set up Madrak arm/axe joint for a pin but I’m leaving the axe off for right now. I think it will be easier to paint, plus the axe portion now has a handy extra long pin I can use to hold the axe for painting, before trimming it down for the actual joint.
Impaler: When I first saw images of this fig I did not think much of it… But now that I’ve got him assembled I am quite pleased indeed! The pose is nice and it is easy to forget how imposing this figure is in a picture. Place him next to standard WM small base models and WOW. This guy goes together pretty easily excepting the midriff syndrome. Much like the Axer and most confrontation wolfen, the figure is cut at the waist line. I’m sure this is easier on the molds, and allows for a more dynamic sculpt, but it’s a pain to get a solid joining. My pin didn’t quite line up, but a little forcing and gluing got his mid section connected. I also pinned his chucking hand to the arm, but decided against pinning the balance arm, and Head. I’m leaving his Spear quiver off for the time being. It should be easier to paint up his back armor this way.
