Today was a milestone day in my modeling history: today I did my first greenstuff conversion! I decided I needed a company captain with a power fist, so I made one out of bits I had left over, and decided to go further by adding a mantle. I made the basic shape by rolling the greenstuff into a ball, and then flattening the ball out before draping it over the shoulders. A sculpting tool from GW helped stipple the texture in. After I had the basic mantle, I used a thinly-rolled snake of g.s. to create a front portion of the mantle. I was at first worried about how the pauldrons would fit with the g.s. in the way, but then I realized that the g.s. would just help them adhere better so I just stuck them on. Hopefully it will look a lot better when painted.
For the second try, I used leftover g.s. from the first model to make the modle my command squad had been missing: a standard bearer. Granted, this isn't the full size standard, but it will do for now until I have time to make a proper bearer.
The other project I started today was making more easily portable/storable game board. More on that is to follow, so stay tuned!
