CREATING INTERESTING SHIELDS

Index

Putty shield designs.
Cast plaster shield designs.

Materials
The rounded curves on the faces can be easily sculpted with Milliput, although the tentacles on the octopus above are far better suited to green putty.

Flat shields can be easily augmented with some weird putty creations as shown here. If you haven't used putty much, this is a nice easy starting project.

Acknowledgements
The 'evil face' idea for shields has been blatantly copied from Fraser Gray, who has had a number of his excellent figures photographed in White Dwarf over the years. The models in these examples, however, are my own.

The nails stuck into these faces are made from copper wire with a small dab of putty on the end.

Make a hole for them while the putty is still soft, and then once it has hardened, superglue the wire in place.

2) - Cast Plaster Shield Designs

This is cast from a chaos terminator sergeant's head on a large round plastic citadel shield.

The head is cast from an original Citadel fleshhound. It didn't fit that well, so Milliput has been used to create the ridges around it.

The skull in the centre is a casting, and the others are painted on to match.

All three of these skulls came from different parts of terminators.
