It's been a bit nippy in the Hinton Hut this week but I've still managed to make progress with animating my PN5 Prussians. This has been a lot of work (but then I knew it would be) and is certainly a lot more time consuming than preparing normal castings.
 |
| This is how the casting was originally supplied with the arms lightly attached at the hips. The bases of the figures had already be filed and there was very little flash on them. |
 |
| First step is to cut the arms free and gently bend them into position. The musket is then Super Glued in place. Trying to get all 20 musketeers in exactly the same position proved impossible but I'm hoping this won't be too noticeable when the unit is finished. |
 |
| Step two is to add in the hands (I use Magic Sculpt). My sculpting skills are very basic and I noticed a tendancy to make the hands too big but this should not be so obvious once the figure is painted. |
 |
| This is the last batch and includes the standard bearer completed in the same way. |
I have the whole unit ready and primed so now it's time to get painting.
