I had to rework the complete shoulder because of a big misalignment of the mould. Several of my fellow painters here had the same problem. In my collection this is the worst miniature concerning mould lines in general. And I hope they don't make another thin miniature like her as the plastic is too wobbly happy.gif



Wow GJ! The nicest Angela i seen so far!

It really sucks that Angela is almost universaly come with that mould error, I have not painted her yet Because of this. Any tips for doing the rework? Also she looks fantastic BTW.

Thanks a lot.

I used a scalpel and fine sand paper. I carefully removed the big mould error on the shoulder, but I tried to let something stand to rework it into the strap of her top. The rest was done with sand paper (1000 grain). But even after a lot of work there were some fine mould lines left which appeared during painting sad.gif

Another option would be to cut/sand the shoulder completely and rework the strap of the top with greenstuff or similar.

Incredible! Well done face and shoulder looks perfect!

I was going to suggest perhaps a shoulder strap as well. Looks great!!!! Overall though I have been very please with the quality of the Dust minis compared to others.

My take on Totenmeister

And a group picture of Totenmeister and her Zombies.

I'm thinking about adding a mangled dead soldier to their bases.

Man, that's just too awesome! You even managed to paint the Blutkreuz logo on her tank!

At least I tried to happy.gif I just thought the flat tank surface needed something to stand out.

I need some good transfers as a base for the next logo as this is basically a modified Iron Cross. Unfortunately I only have 40k-related transfers at home
