Skull for Phantom Belt Buckle?
Permalink  
 


I was browsing for inspiration, and look what I came up with biggrin

Phantom-flame.jpg

Looking familiar? Yes, me thinks smile
Now I'm looking for a suitable small skull for the belt buckle of my BAP Walking Ghost. Has anyone an idea what I can use or where I can find such small skulls?

You shouldn't have any problems with skulls of any size from GWbiggrin

I think you mean press-moulding...
I was looking for an alternative to that confuse

not sure if I misunderstood You

what I mean is there are a lot of plastic addons in different sizes from GW, since they put skulls on everything, apart from elves maybe

check out  "Gamesbastelworkshop" for single parts

Even the terrain has skulls on it. A friend purchased the new terrain boards because he thought the setup was nifty, only to discover that every crack in the terrain surface has skulls in it, requiring him to fill in the cracks in order to use it for anything else.

I suspect they have a sick sense of humor about it at this point. "Hey, Frank, look at where we put skulls THIS time!"

I'm still awaiting some historical figures with skull encrusted armor....

hopefully not

I guess they have two internal contests:

"in what absurd places can I fit a skull?"

"modeller with most sculpts without a skull"

the second one must be a winner!

HAH!

They seem to go through phases. For a long time they were in the "everything must have a Topknot" phase... they seem to be moving out of that, but they have been on the "skull" kick for at least as long.

Is there anything quite as ugly as a miniature with skull encrusted armor AND a topknot? No, let's do one better - let's resculpt our Orcs and give them ridiculously huge arms. Then we'll add topknots and skulls.

Sorry to distract from your post, Haupt. I'll be interested to see what you come up with. Obviously, as the miniature is clearly not the Phantom, we couldn't add a skull buckle to his belt...

-Doc

Of course not wink

Well, maybe I can find a Soldier of the Evil Empire who has one Skull decoration which he can donate biggrin

Okay, what I came up with, is an unassembled GW Chaos Marine donor, who has now one skull decoration less on his pistol holster. As it's quite small, it'll be difficult to file it down and glue it on the figure... blankstare

I think he can do without biggrin

if plastic, cutting off with a wery thin blade or razor blade should be no problem

I've done that very often, and could have equipped the whole spectral dynasty with what I dumped

sorry
