In regard to the plasticard comment. I'm going to be adding purity seals, inquisitorial symbols etc to make it not so plain.TexPainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785264970492629877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622693252823605377.post-31520525960906041502011-05-09T14:08:37.406-07:002011-05-09T14:08:37.406-07:00this is a good start to a conversion, but if i may...this is a good start to a conversion, but if i may, i'd like to make a few suggestions. <br /><br />firstly, in my experience, if you use existing pieces, and it is obvious what they were (in this case, the backpacks) then the effect is sadly less good than it might otherwise have been. this is more of a problem for those of us without massive bits boxes though, so if that is you, then i get it ;)<br /><br />second, plasticard just doesnt cut it unless you add some detailing. its just never obvious what it's supposed to be otherwise. i like the larger tubes as ammo hoppers, but it isnt immediately obvious that that is what they are. maybe think about getting some very thin sheets of plasticard and adding some details to them. if you cant get hold of that, then try using plain old paper, it superglues very well and is easy to work with.<br /><br />overall, i think this looks good, it just needs the odd detail to look great!Atreideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304081312256836817noreply@blogger.com
