DynamicCalories Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi guys, I know this isn't strictly AoS still but I imagine this kind of thing is pretty helpful universally I want to do some slime coming out of this pipe on the base, and I want to know your HOT TIPS (that preferably involve me spending less than £15 on a block of E-Z water) I don't want it looking like high pressure, just enough to give the impression of a slow ffetid flow into a shallow pool with a ripple (I might even make a better basin with cork and have a Nurgling taking a bath) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzaangor Management Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yeah, can see it now, although I can't help further... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 As long as you don't need semi-clear / coloured clear effect, then PVA glue is your friend. Use either a little greenstuff, or some twisted paper to give a basic structure to the flow, and liberally coat with PVA glue, letting it flow out and down your guiding part. If you want the semi-clear / coloured clear effect, then pick up a sample sized pot of the water effect, let it dry slightly before applying so it's tacky, and then slowly build it up from the pipe, downwards.

Tuluth Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hot glue can be your friend for creating that pouring water flow as well. There's a few good terrain building videos on Youtube. I'll link one when I get home tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicCalories Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Cheers guys! I think Nurgles rot and 'ardcoat might get me past the need for transparency, but I love the depth the water effect stuff gives so i am tempted by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuluth Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Knew I forgot to do something yesterday! Here's a good video, that'll even help with the pipe itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodReign Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I watched a video a month or so ago in which the chap built a waterfall. He used pva and a plastic sheet. Paint the pva onto the sheet in strips (width as required) and once dried peel of the sheet and apply with glue. Youvcan even make it thicker in places to give it a more natural look. Bit of an experiment but if you want a coloured translucent finish try mixing a shade wash into the glue. It might work.Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicCalories Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Apologies mods for non-AoS content but I just wanted to share the basing that I did as I am sure it could be useful for other people. If anyone is interested I can explain the process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DynamicCalories Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Cool! So the base is cork layers covered with astrogranite, and drybrushed. The ooze is basically Vallejo water effects mixed with Elysian. I found the past way to approach it was with thin layers, each time adding in a bit of seraphim sepia whilst it was still wet, to add some depth. I ended up doing three layers in total with green mixed in, reducing the green each time, and one final layer that was clear. Whilst drying I covered the model in a light plastic bag to stop dust from accumulating. The pouring effect was added after layer one had dried. I poured some of the mix onto a flat plastic surface (the underside of a pallet I'd used ages ago) and let it dry. Then I cut it off with a modelling knife and cut some strips out. It's very fiddly, but I basically cut a thinker one than I wanted, then bent it to a C shape to give it some volume, and super glued it to the base and the pipe - I was quite forceful because I wanted the bend to be act a little like water and not be a uniform thin slice. I then layered it up with Nurgle's Rot and ran a big blo of Seraphim Sepia down it, before continuing on to the rest of the layering. Very time intense, given all the drying stages, but lots of fun!

feuermann Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 You can do it with vallejo water effects (its quite cheap and harder) Use a plastic sheet and spread the effects, when dry cut it and glue it using water effects again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
