I tested drilling a hole in one that wasn't as nice as the ones I used, incase something went wrong. Drilled a little too far and it all fell apart. The next times went fine though.
Hardest part? Drilling teeth. Messes you up.
I connected another test tooth to a back spear, and wrapped it in some leather thread to see how it'd look. I like.
My solution was to us a dark wash and age the leather all over. This game it all a uniform look.
The big spear head kinda obscures the Impaler's face, but I knew I'd have those issues with how I positioned the arm. Overall I'm happy with how he turned out! :)

I love the shark teeth on the impaler. They really add to the feral look of him. In the future, you may have more luck drilling teeth if you first soak them in some water. The teeth do tend to get brittle, and will break apart easily when heat and pressure are applied. Drilling a wet tooth helps it to not fracture.
ReplyDeleteYour paint job is awesome too. Where did you get the small leather straps? Great work.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind and will definitely credit you when I try it out.
ReplyDeleteThe leather straps are from a hobby store called Michaels. It's basically a spool, like string, but different thicknesses of leather.
