After assembling the Graveyard Golem I decided I wanted to adjust the warp of the gates on the golem's back.
 
So using two copper staples, I shaped them to an arch and gouged a notch on each wing.  Then cut the staple to leave a sharp point.  After that, I insert the staple using pliers and force.
 

 
Next I will secure the wire to the gate posts with superglue and then shape the wire and wing to the desired warp.  Once setup I will glue the wire to the remaining gate bars.
 
With the main new bars secured, I will intertwine some floral wire to dress up the bars and gate wings.
 
Stay tuned and Enjoy.  Please stay safe. 

Hello everyone, here are pictures of the 60142 Golden Guardian I painted for the Pathfinder painting contest. This model was sculpted by Tim Prow. It was the perfect miniature to practice my nmm.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Got this guy in my Bones Paint & Take Home Survival Kit earlier this year.  He was done with lots of sloppy washes and dry brushing. I put flock on its exposed twigs, for decency's sake. 
 

 

Working my way through the backlog of minis I need to photograph and post. I was very intimidated by this guy at first, but it turned out to be lots of fun to paint.
 
C&C welcome.
 

 

 

 

Greetings!
 
Coral Golem from the "Titans Of The Tide" pack in Bones 3.
 
It was quite tricky trying to determine many of the details on this mini but I got there in the end . Some of them, like the little fish & the sea cucumber were a pleasant surprise!
 

 

 

 

 
 
There are areas of UV paint on this mini but I'm afraid I can't get very good pics showing it but the following will give some Idea. If anyone knows how to take a successful pic in low light using a UV lamp, pls let me know & I'll give it a go & post pics.
 

 

 
Thanks for looking!
