Tutorial - World Eaters Contemptor Dreadnought Part #2 - Legs

So let's start off with the statically posed B@C Plastic Contemptor model. 


Before you assemble the front and back halves, you will need to cut the center pelvis area from the legs, leaving the rounded hip bearings and upper legs attached to the lower legs. Trim this as close to the upper leg bearings. This should be fairly easy if you do this before you glue the front and back together.







Above is the two sections that you'll want to aim to cut. The front and rear sections of the pelvis.



Make the first two cuts as close to the outer portion of the hip joints, Aim to make this as flush to those as possible.

So what can I say about this course?
Simply put, if you get the chance, go to one.

Beginner or expert, everyone will  benefit from this.You will see different techniques and learnnew ones. I cannot recommend this course more highly. Essentially, you'll learn enough to stop you in your tracks. You'll have to sit for a few days and let the new techniques and processes marinate. Work through hat works for your style and what you can adapt to speed up, make better and/or replace what you currently do. Finally you'll start crying. You'll look at everything you've painted thus far and realize you should either sell them or strip and repaint your miniatures.


So for posterity, probably more so for my failing memory, I've gathered some notes and wi…
