The Thing I'm Most Excited About For Plastic

[Tuesday]

You were at the Wyrd booth today and I was not introduced?

I am both shocked and saddened.

If I knew how to recognize anyone there, I would introduce myself to everyone! Jonas says you were there when I got my Dark Debts box today, though, and I'll be there tomorrow sometime as well.

I'm having trouble with the seams on hungering darkness, can't seem to get his two halves completely together with the mouth piece between them. I can actually see through it if i'm looking at it straight on. Anyone else having this problem?

[Iron Heel]

lol, same here. I can pin Coryphee arms like a champ.

Word!
I replaced the halberd shafts on a unit of 10 Bane Knights with steel music rod & brass tube...soon we will feel like typewriter!

I haven't started building yet. Looking g at the model, I would suggest removing some of the material from the outside of the the inner mouth piece. If I understand you correctly, that should take care of the seams not lining up with the mouth piece in place.

These are REALLY crisp models, I'm pleased with the sculpts!

I'm particularly excited about the plastic models because they do not chip as easily as metal models from standard wear and tear. Hopefully I won't have to use purity seal any more!

On the note of assembling the new Hungering Darkness mini, is there any chance someone can post a picture of the Dark Debts sprue? I ordered Mr. Lynch and Hungry Hippo but I do not have the box yet and am curious to see what the un-assembled minis look like. Good luck with the new box, monkeysmiles!

I will try to snap pictures of the sprues that I bought sometime soon. I'm recovering a bit from the day, so please be patient.

Thanks everyone, yeah I don't have nail clippers with me (skipped my mind to bring them) so I was just doing my best to take them off with as little plactic stub as I could. Guess i'll wait till I get back home sunday to fully assemble. Hungering darkeness is actually really easy to assemble, its the more humanoid modelst that are in more pieces and I think I have more arms than attachments for them so II think you have a small pool of selection for the arm types you like. (ex: such as tentacly arms or regular arms).

Also I never worked with plastic minis before, what is the best type of glue to use with them?

Oh it is also a fun little game to try to match which piece goes to what since the plastic parts are all together on a sheet

Nathan or Eric (I forget which) had mentioned that people in the studio seemed to really like the Gorilla super glue.....I picked myself up some today in anticipation.

How hard is the plastic?

[Iamwyrd]

Its legos hard.

[dgraz]

Wow, I know they said it was lego plastic, but also mixed with something else so you could actually paint it (because lego plastic is too slick) and I figured that would soften it some.

Cool to hear that there is no noticeable difference.
