Would look a lot more atmospheric if the Aliens had, had a wash of Druchii Violet or Army Painter Purple Tone Ink (adds a slightly glossy finish in some cases which works well) before the drybrush but it does come down to personal taste

I don't know how you measured the models, but I've put mine next to my 28mm collection and the marines are way too tall to be considered 28mm scale. Considering that they are also a bit too small to be 32mm I think 30mm scale is a pretty correct description. Too sad Gale Force didn't stick to common scaling...

Don't know if it's of interest, Alexander, but while looking for 1:144 scale WW1 tanks to integrate with my Wings of War, I ran across Kallistra Ltd. A good variety of 12mm fantasy and historical. They also have an intriguing hex-based terrain system.

For these models I found 'Tamiya Extra Thin Cement' to be fantastic. It bonds in seconds (like superglue) but when cured it's bond is super tough. So much so that I can even bend/straighten an Alien tail without it separating. The bond is stronger than the thinner tail itself. Look forward to seeing more vids. Most of the painter channels I follow focus on the Games Workshop stuff so delighted to see something different.
@spruegate84963 жыл бұрын
I used Tamiya Extra thin on these (the bodies) but the tails were such a bad fit that they wouldn't fuse properly with Tamiya. It was pretty annoying so I resorted to Super Glue.
@MentatOfDune3 жыл бұрын
@@spruegate8496 - That's interesting as I didn't have that issue and found they fit and bonded great. I did file the nub down a little on some tails to change their angle. Also the 4yo was using them as dinosaurs (without me knowing) and he wasn't too gentle with them and there was no breakages. I've mentioned to others how great Tamiya Extra Thin was for these. I best not be so bullish about the product going forward.

Tamiya is so much better than superglue I had no trouble just filled the tail sockets with it and added a load more to the join after it set. I think it actually melts the plastic slightly to provide a really tight seal but it is well and truly fixes now!
