This was the most challenging effort yet...........This one I'v just finished..As a kid I liked painting warhammer figures..I was into the Eldar armies..I never really gamed but I did like painting them! One of my faves are the Eldar aspect warriors ..Such as the striking scorpions..the Inspiration came from a green christmas cracker whistle.lol..the curvature of the whistle was the same as the eldar helmet..so really thats how it started,hacksawed the sids off..melted ,molded,heat some more ,sand cut..etc..faceplate is of shaped lego plastic,the eyes are sanded down clear red plastic.I Sanded and sliced poor ol destro..as a base to work on.all the yellow and green armour plates are of cut,heated , shaped, sanded duplo bricks,then superglued on destro....all the joints are covered by green canvas...As standard..inserted pretty lights..The legs and feet had taken the most time..very fiddly!!..happy with the figure.hope you guys like it..regards all!!

Hi gijoey...thanks for the appreciation ....A basic rundown is that I sand and trim down a figure mostly for joints and articulation...so the figure is like a blank canvas..the armour is really melted(not to the point of burning) molded sections of plastic then cut to shape..sanded and polished..then each section is superglued in place...anyother questions fella..il be happy to help.regards

Your custom armor is some of the coolest customizing I've ever seen. I'd love to learn this technique. Do you or can you make a tutorial?
