Progress on Green/Command.

More work on the Command Squad. Aside from the Commissar, who is still in progress, they're pretty much ready for paint (once I finish the last half of Green/C).

World's largest mustache, or face tribble? You decide.

All fear the power of Chin Beard!

And the JO, proudly sporting a Lemmy. It doesn't really show, but he's got a pack and roll. It took three forums and this here blog, but I'm pleased with how he looks now. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.

    I swear I know that fella with the chin beard! Seriously though, these are great little touches that really help to bring out character and variation amongst the miniatures - good job!

    Thanks, guys! As I said, I'm quite pleased with the JO, and I love adding beards because they're so effective at adding character and they're so easy to do.

    really like the mustaches, any chance you could do a tutorial on how you get them to fit so well? do you use a tool?

    Thanks. :) I do use a sculpting tool, the GW one in fact, along with a rubber-tipped clay shaper.

    Basically I use my fingers to get a small roll of GS into position, then I use the clay shaper to smooth it on and make sure it's adhered. Then I just poke the GS with the pointy end of the metal sculpting tool for the texture.

    GW sculping tool is here:

    And these are the clay shapers:
