I'd rather err on heavy rather than "Oh, a breeze lifted my cloak, and...aw, hell. Gotta run..."Raptor1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/16909802419382710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980965597843358498.post-9895514327454876692009-08-22T16:51:50.233-07:002009-08-22T16:51:50.233-07:00Holy carp, that cloak turned out fantastic!

It didn't hang naturally and I ended up with GS everywhere but where I wanted it. I think the snake technique gives you a little more control even if it does take a little longer to do.<br /><br />@Darkwing & Drax - I actually managed to do the second sniper in 30 minutes. All I've got to do now is finish off Marbo's cloak and pistol tonight leaving me with 5 days to paint up the 7 models. Hopefully, I'll hit the deadline without compromising the quality of the paint job - fingers crossed!<br /><br />@Capitol - Well, I've removed the jungle camo, but I'm not adding shoulder pads or sleeves as I think the cloaks will tie them together nicely.<br /><br />I did ok at the tournament, I got one win and two draws giving me 4th overall. Not bad for my first tournament, even if I say so myself.Col.

I'm sure as you do more cloaks on your other models they'll just look better and better.<br /><br />And don't let the challenge deadlines make you compromise on quality! The awesome factor of the sculpted cloaks should make up for them possibly being late.Darkwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335933745375951322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980965597843358498.post-6651535667168711812009-08-21T15:48:56.236-07:002009-08-21T15:48:56.236-07:00Great cloak!

This will also looks more "light", less "heavy". And if you're experiancing problems you can still use the failled sheet atempt to make more little snakes. Your cloak is great, the sheet method is (for me) faster.Grégory Privathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02887195611197188318noreply@blogger.com
