Slow progress on Inanis again. I think I may be a bit stuck. Did some more detailing on the figure but I’m still stuck on what to do with the shoulder pad.

Water spouts test fit |
Swapping to work on the base I played around with some different sized bases. I settled on a small plastic jar with a screw on lid that I purchased from the $2 shop to store paint in. I glued some lead to the bottom of the base and then glued in a large piece of wooden dowel to fill up most of the space in the jar. Then I used some plastic card to form a mould around the top of the jar and poured in some Easycast resin. This way the resin covered the screw thread and formed the top of the base making working with it easier. I then sanded the whole thing and undercoated it black.

On base, millitput done |
In the clear light of day I saw my sanding job was pretty poor. So back to the shed and time to sand it properly. To speed things up I drilled in a wood screw to the top of the base, cut off the top of the screw and then put that in the chuck of my drill. Slow speed and some sand paper later and life was smooth again. Recoated black and it looks much better.

Getting there.. |
I then mixed up some Milliput and made the top of the base. I made it slightly wavy as it is going to be water. I also spent some time with a scalpel scraping the top smooth and then sanding and polishing the Milliput (the advantage of that material). So it’s now ready for painting.

Dungeon Saga Dwarves |
I also finished off the last of the small undead figures from Dungeon Saga, the Dwarves. Next up are the trolls. Before I get to them I will probably do a few of the boss bad guys/gals.
