Destroy them! Kill! Kill, kill, kill them all!

Here's where I'm at with my dio of the skeleton fight from Jason & The Argonauts.


Got the skeletons done but I think I'll give them a brown wash - not too heavy.

I was thinking of carving away the front part of the helmet and sculpting the rest with either Squadron Green or Milliput White?

[eddiesolo]

Sand the front bridge of the helmet away and then use a small nail to dimple the outside, once painted it will show as highlights.


Nice, very nice.

I would do as Si,has said the only why to do it,and just sand down the tail part as well to a cone,


looking good so far ,once you give them a brown wash to show off the detail,real like there shields,


are they decals, ?


nice work with the steps,look great,

"Jason and the Argonauts" a true classic! My favorite scene was the one with the old blind man and his winged tormentors. The skeleton battle? EPIC! To heck with CGI those were the days

Would love someone with skill to build the scene with the giant ( Talos ) and the bit on the beach when Jason unscrews his ankle ( any takers??


Sorry I'm just not that good but brilliant what you gone and done with the skeletons and the steps


Love it

Milliput is a durable modelling putty designed to be carved, drilled, filed, and so on


Squadron Green is a knifing stopper intended to fill small cracks and scratches as a final finish. It is not meant to be used for serious sculpting or carving

totally agree Jim,what ever happened to the good stuff,the same as CGI,werewolfs,one of the last one was an American werewolf in London,

Milliput is the way to go dave.

OK. I gave the skeletons a brown wash as I mentioned. I may have overdone it, but I'll see what they look like when in place.

As for King Aeetes, this is what I got after a bit of sanding, a touch of Squadron green, some plasticard strip, some thick cotton and a round bit from my spares box (no idea what it is/was!) this is what I ended up with:

A bit of paint and:

A wash now to highlight the facial features and I think that will do. Not perfect I know, but it's as good as my talents will allow and in this small scale I don't think it will look too bad.


Zuludog and Barry: I take your point about the difference between Milliput and Squadron Green. As I only needed an eyeful, I used Squadron Green just because it was quicker.


Moni: Yes. They are decals from Veni Vidi Vici (3vwargames.co.uk)

[Gern]

I meant to add a PS but forgot!


Thanks to the guys for helping with a camera. I looked at various ones on ebay (I said I needed cheap, but I couldn't find the one you recommended Patrick) and, following advice from Ron, I got a little Sony Cyber-shot. Some help with the settings - again from Ron - and now I can get the close-ups I wanted.

King Aeetees is looking good Dave ( well his head anyway )
