Model Bases
Here's the bases for the rest of the ogres in the army. 27 total, that should be plenty!
Eventually I'll get the 'gnoblars' going.
To make the bases, I used Apoxie-Sculpt and cork. The Apoxie-Sculpt was rolled
out in sheets between wax paper, using a rolling pin. I made some thick, and some some thin. Once
they were dry, I peeled away the wax paper, and used plyers to break the pieces down into usable chunks.
Using super glue, and freshly mixed Apoxie-Sculpt, I built the bases in whatever way seemed interesting
at the time. The cork was attached last, super glued into the still pliable Apoxie-Sculpt, or right to
the base itself.
I also magnetized all the bases, and made a carrying case for the army.

The Brutish Horde!
27 Ogres built. See the skeleton shots, and the fleshed out one. This took about 4 weeks in total,
working maybe an hour a day on average. Talk about some monotonous stuff! I did it all one step at a time:
- Remove all bodies from the sprues.
- Scrape all mold lines off.
- Cut all legs up with clippers.
- Cut up enough sprues to make proper legs.
- Attach them to the base by building legs with sprue bits, green stuff, and super glue.
- Fill out legs and bellies with Apoxie Sculpt. Repair any breaks along the way.
That's the gist of it. Glad that is done!
