Sounds like a good way to get cheap wargs (and horses) then, but what're you going to do about the riders? the same?

yes, i already know how im going to do to create horses *_* i have some ideas in mind

it will work i think

about the riders offcourse..i will choose some figures and then i create them too, and then i can change them again to adapt them to the horses

the riders are realy small, i can create like 4 molds and do 4 riders every 2 days and they are smaller (a lot) then wargs or horses, so with a bag of the material i use i can create like...30figures? xD

lets see how this goes

good luck with this project

this is the warg i used to create my mold, it is a plastic one and its simple to work with it

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:39 am

well it was kind obvious that it is plastic as metal wargs are always molded onto the riders

i dont know about that, i got 2 figures , the rider and the horse metal figures, and they were separated, so i dont about the wargs but ok now i know that ^^

im just showing everything i use lol...

the molds are done

so lets get to work

First, I brush the mold with Vaseline, 2 times to make sure it is well brushed with vaseline, no need to exaggerate, do not want to cover too much detail with Vaseline

now we fill the molds ( i use the same material that i used to create the molds, must be someting soft to work with, but it needs to get realy hard after, at least if u want a resistant warg) and as you can see i held a little wire on the mold

I used the brush to do a bit of pressure, to ensure it is well filled, and the details of the warg are well marked

that wire I held in the middle of the mold, i will use it to pull off the warg. it is better, with the wire stick to the warg i dont need to break the mold to get the warg piece out..

and here it is my work done for now... I think tomorrow is going to be tough enough to take the pieces of the warg out of the mold

WOW the vaseline worked much better then was suppose to....it didnt stick at all and i was able to take them off already

here it is!

came out better than I thought, but unfortunately now I have to wait a day, I can not work and improve them until they get harder
and fortunately the mold was not damaged so I can use it again whenever i want

Chris · **Posted:** Fri Nov 04, 2011 10:13 am

continuing my conversions...

now im working on this one, I made some updates on it

and here is what i ve done, i think it looks like a good orc banner bearer now

its not complete yet, i still have to finish his left arm but so far it looks good, at least for me

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Fri Nov 04, 2011 10:27 am

Nice work on the conversion. Cool pose and it will make a nice alternative banner bearer amongst the other poses already available.

i didnt like the pose of my harad banner bearer so i change it

i still dont like it lol, im going to change the mini, maybe some improvings ^^ lets see what i can do

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sat Nov 05, 2011 3:35 pm

That completed Orc banner bear looks awesome, it is as impressive as the banner bearers in the wotr command sets. The Harad one is also beginning to look awesome. Great job

(However you should have saved the Orc until this months painting challenge, because it would've been a spectaculr entry.

Chris · **Posted:** Sun Nov 06, 2011 10:24 am

Thanks GothmogtheWerewolf, i know i could use it on the november challenge but i already choose Golfimbul for the challenge, its the same i wont get a single vote anyway lol
