A Note on Zoraida's Puppets

[nebiros]

First, let me start by saying that the models I got in the mail today are beautiful, as are all the others. However, a note of caution: Buy a pin vise. The other Neverborn models don't seem to need the same level of pinning that Zoraida's crew does. I just finished pinning the models and there was a lot of pinning necessary. This concludes my public service announcement.

What exactly did you find you needed to pin?

I pinned mine to their bases but found juju the only one who required the extra strength for his limbs. Even then I found that the arm and head were a bit gappy so just used green stuff which made him strong enough.

The Mature Nephilim also has heavy parts that need some extra support (his wings) or parts that leave gaps (his head.) Green stuff served the purpose for both, however, and I didn't need to do any pinning. His wings are on securely and the gaps are filled in his back and his head is on nicely and it makes it look like he has a bit more of a neck.

Mainly, I had issues with Bad Juju. However, I had to pin the voodoo dolls to the base as well as the other models. Perhaps I should have re-phrased the PSA. The crew is greenstuff and pin heavy. Also, I want to clarify. I don't mean this PSA as a bad thing. I just thought others might want to know that this crew might require a bit more modeling experience than Pandora's or Lilith's.

Well, Zoraida's Crew is my second for Malifaux, and I have to say Bad Juju's got nothin' on the War Pig!! :O

The swamp bases that I make for my miniatures are a pool of metal repair epoxy with half greenstuff balls pushed in for air bubbles; I similarly just push the models into it to stick them to the base and it seems to create a very secure hold (for voodoo dolls, etc).

This crew required a fair amount of modest greenstuffing (gapfilling), mostly on the Silurid's tails to get rid of the otherwise-obvious join. Bad Juju went together with super glue and then I filled in the gaps with greenstuff, using a wire brush to stipple it to make it look like the same mud consistency as his body. All in all, not too much trouble. (The War Pig had a MASSIVE gap between the two halves of it's body, and I had to fill it in and resculpt hair and all sorts!! PITA.)

Having put together both models, I just thought I'd voice my agreement.

What this man said.

Thanks for the heads up. I hate assembling.

I recently got her crew as my first forray into Malifaux. Nice models, but there are definitely some gap issues on the Silurids that need to be filled

I got away without pinning most stuff though
