JJD Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I want to use embossed shoulders in my Indomitus set. Can anyone point me towards a good video for the out riders. Their shoulders are sort of hollow and I don’t want to mess it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValourousHeart Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Might be worth it to just use transfers or find someone that makes etched brass, 3d printed plastic or resin insignia bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their shoulders are sort of hollow and I don’t want to mess it up. I've tried something like this before for a friend and I think your best bet'll be to fill out the hollow section of the shoulder with putty, let it cure and then carve away the shoulderpad. That's how I did it anyways, worked pretty well - just takes some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I did it with mine and basically, I just started carefully clipping them off bit by bit. I had a shoulder handy to keep checking to see how well the fit was: Edited November 16, 2020 by Gederas Dagoth Ur 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have normal embossed pads those will stick out near-instantly and will look wrong. Edited November 16, 2020 by Gederas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a shoulder handy to keep checking to see how well the fit was: snip Yeah, same Used my clippers to trim it down. With my hobby knife I did some detail stuff. Not the best picture for the shoulder plates, but as you can see, there isn't really a noticable gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal_warrior12 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 +1 vote for Popgoesthemonkey. They are great quality and good people. I’m paining the redemptor dread upgrade kit right now. Shoulder insignia and custom helmets are in my drawer for the heavy intercessor release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Lightstar Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Get some "Blue Stuff" which is the mould making silicon, press a sculpted pad into it and cure it. Then get a small amount of Green Stuff or other putty of choice and press into the icon on the mould, push a blank or fixed pad in on top of it and you've made a matching icon. Greenstuff world and others sell the blue putty stuff. http://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/reusable-blue-stuff/2-blue-stuff-mold-4-bars.html Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
