A thread for my work in progress. The title seem appropriate given that much as I love the heft of metal models I can't say I enjoy trying to clean up flash and whatnot on them!
So I have a question... I've been preparing some bikes and trikes to join my Squats and found myself to be missing a set of headlamps. So I sculpted something approximating a headlight. Of course ten minutes after finishing that I found the offending missing set of headlamps. So opinions please. Should I keep what I've done since it looks okay and makes for a change from the other trikes, or shall I revert to the proper original piece?
Second question! To base or not to base. So the bikes are going on pill bases, because I think they look better stood upright! The trikes on the other hand, well they don't really need bases. I'm inclined to not bother with bases for the trikes and just leave them as they are. The pros would be better blending with terrain, the cons? Bit harder to put a magnet in, but I should be able to put something in the rear wheels. They might not look so cohesive with the rest of the army I guess. Thoughts please!
