Hey all. I’ve got a bit more done on the Dark Angels Standard Bearer. At this stage I have finished the general sculpting of the banner shape and have given it a thin coat of black so I can spot the areas that need a little light smoothing. I think I’l also re-shape the tabs holding the banner to it’s pole a little.
After that I’ll be getting on with the really fun bit. Freehand painting the banner design. Oh! and attaching his other arm and backpack too.

How are you planning on smoothing out the surface of the banner? Got an Ork warboss whose arm is a bit lumpy after some GS work so I'd be interested in hearing about this.
I use acrylic liquid filler. Vallejo make an excellent plastic putty but GW's liquid green stuff is pretty good too. I think it very slightly with a tiny bit of medium and give the areas a light coat. Leave it to dry for a good while and then very gently smooth it back with a tiny piece of 400 grade sandpaper attached to the end of an old brush with a bit of blue tack. 🙂
Ah, cool, I'll give that a go. Cheers!
Great tip! Thanks!
