Ok, so as well as base coating a riptide I was also able to get some more "work" done on this model. I got all the mold lines, and most all the excess paint off the plastic daemonette pieces I'm going to be using on this conversion. I had to actually scrap most of the paint off with a dull hobby blade. I'm willing to do this for this model because I want to make sure it looks as good as it can, but I'm definitely not going to be doing this for future models. It was just way too time consuming.
After that I had to hack down the upper portion of the main body some more to get it down to a level where the daemonette torso would look natural sitting on top of it. I used a saw and new hobby blades to do this. The new hobby blades work really well, but for the amount I had to actually remove the saw was able to take more off at a quicker rate.
Here's one view of the model coming together in its basic shape. I had to cut the neck of the head off because it was to thick. That took a little bit of doing without cutting myself.
Here is another view showing the front. I do have what I would consider to be a fair amount of green stuffing to do, but really it is close to being finished from a construction stand point. I maybe able to get more done today, or I may not. If I do I'll add more onto the end of this post.
Ok, I did a little repose with one of the lower arms. I'll be able to paint it more easily and other smaller daemons will be able to suckle at the teats easier. I'm not going to mess with it anymore tonight. It needs to dry well so that I can get into green stuffing it.
