well, tbh, it got painted.The Ghost is a specialized infantry unit built from a Barracks with an attached Tech Lab once a Ghost Academy has been constructed. What wasn't taken off with an electric sander. I just covered it and 20 minutes later started sanding with the electric sander. My bondo is never as soft/liquid as the various consistencies I see on youtube, so it sets fast and isn't so easy to get fine detail. The barrel was then just card scored lengthways down the corrugation, then folded and wrapped round the broom, in layers until I built up the barrel. The corrugated card and hot glue was strong enough to hold up under the internal pressure and it became really solid.
I left bits missing all over the model.once the rear section was complete (minus scope) I added a broom handle for the barrel base and filled that sucker with expandable foam. To aid organization I grouped the pep pieces together in sections and printed out one section at a time. then I printed the pep out and glued each sheet onto corrugated card, then cut that out and fixed together with hot glue. I increased the size by a further 10% (good job I did tbh, it would be kinda small otherwise) to make the pep easier. I have the pep model for the weapon, so started construction. I started on sunday night, had to be at the party friday night. well, by cutting corners is the honest answer. Hope you all like, I shall continue to post more as I make more. Also the PVA makes it very spreadable, perfect for filling in minor imperfections. The PVA prevents crumbling, it ends up very much like the car filler, just as strong.
Perfect for filling in large areas cheaply before a final layer or two of polyester filler. Yes, this might be crumbly, which is why I mix it with PVA until it makes a kind of gel. No, the expandable foam doesn't expand and destroy your pep model from the inside. Second, expanding foam to provide bulk to the piece. There are issues to work around, but it can be used.
I've learned alot doing this one, so here's to the rest going much faster!Īs you can see, it uses several non standard construction methods.įirst, paper mache to save on fiber glassing costs. I'm using alot of different materials and methods, and once this piece is done will be using slightly different methods geared towards speed and price since I am a pauper. I've got two of these to get finished for the Milton Keynes collectormania in November so pressure is on. Hi all, I'm new here and thought I'd just throw up some images of my current build, a marine from starcraft 2.
