Orcs (this week only!)

 14 Orc warriors and 4 Orc bowmen were available for a short time only (1 week?)* and here they all are, Greenstuffed into their bases.

While nothing compares with the problems with GW's 'resin' models, metal has its problems.

The main one is the need for a varnish finish after painting as the paint chips easily on this hard material.

A minor one is the difficulty setting them in their bases.

The tab beneath them that supposedly fits their slot in the base, rarely does being too narrow.

As with these chaps, you have to bend the tab till it gives some purchase, then glue them.

Once the glue is set, I fill up gaps with Greensdtuff which helps with the adhesion.

This is an unusual and very dynamic pose.

I've cut away the useless spike of 'grass' that his other foot was attached to which leaves a particularly large gap to be filled with Greenstuff.

They look excellent models and I look forward to them producing more 'one offs' like this.


(* Of course I fully expect a further issue at some point 'due to popular demand')
