Thanks so much for the links and the top tips chaps - I'm really trying to make this project something a little special.<br /><br />That said: the models really do look shoddy at the moment. I promise I'll smarten them up yet in my usual painfully-slow-and-old-fashioned style...honest!<br /><br />I might even take a half-decent photo when I do.<br /><br />By the way: SUNEOKUN! Hello!

A pin might work, remember to work the fur in waves, just look at the 'dear dog' and look how his fur works in interlocked clumps - mold the clumps and then add the texture. It doesn't have to be realistic ... it could be very stylish!suneokunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085094845127991965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-42640435414421240082012-12-10T07:56:49.474+00:002012-12-10T07:56:49.474+00:00Nice work, Drax; impressed with the script on the ...Nice work, Drax; impressed with the script on the signaller's pad. <br /><br />Mordian 7th; their vehicle is an Annocenti Bear, which is a bit like a hummve. <br />http://www.antenocitisworkshop.com/nova-rus-bear-4x4-jeep.html<br /><br />Actual 28mm hummve's are available from Fenris.<br />http://www.fenrisgames.com/shop.html#ecwid:category=2202357&mode=category&offset=0&sort=nameAscZzzzzzhttp://www.devos4.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-7997649713156362622012-12-10T00:47:57.609+00:002012-12-10T00:47:57.609+00:00When I was starting out with my Space Wolves and s...When I was starting out with my Space Wolves and sculpting fur and cloaks over everything, I discovered that I could use the small "wolf tail bits" to press into the regular greenstuff that would cover gaps and such. While using a sculpting tool can work well on it's own for fur, the little wolf tail pressing matched up much better to the plastic pieces than I could have ever hope to do.<br /><br />However, I would actually limit my fur sculpting to the tail, maybe a bit of of a lions mane and maybe some by his paws. You'll be amazed at how a few suggestions of fur can convince the observer that the entire model is furry.<br /><br />Think about the high elves lion chariot models or any warhammer horses.<br /><br /> <br />Kevin Spyrlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861282058033709654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-90407287494817071852012-12-09T20:01:58.035+00:002012-12-09T20:01:58.035+00:00Those are looking great!

I really dig how that looks and wouldn't mind getting some for m'self!<br /><br />As far as the fur goes, a wetted tip of an exacto blade in small, thin wavy lines is my suggestion. A couple good tutorials I've used in the past:<br /><br />One from Miniature Tim:<br /><br />http://miniaturetim.blogspot.com/2011/11/sculpting-fur-was-my-first-real-nose.html<br /><br />And one from the ever-helpful Ron over at FTW:<br /><br />http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-sculpt-and-mold-fur-cloaks-and.html<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing these come together - Keep up the great work!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-91653102325620493072012-12-09T19:37:59.593+00:002012-12-09T19:37:59.593+00:00Small pin scrapes with the end of a nail?

Hmmm... fur, eh? I'll stress I haven't tried this, but what about adding a very (very) thin layer of normal Green Stuff on the dog's back, then using a scalpel to poke lots of really close-together holes at 45 degrees into his back, create the fur pattern?Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.com
