The body and right arm are from the Black Reach box set Terminator Sergeant, the banner a Company Command Squad, and the left arm and bits a Dark Angels Tactical Squad+upgrade sprue.<\/p>\n
The Terminator arm’s Storm Bolter was cut off and then I drilled out the interior of the hand to put through the pole, just some scrap tubing I had laying around. \u00a0I opted not to use the original banner pole since I’d have to cut the power armor hand off, and that pole’s pretty wide so it’d be tough to plausibly work into a hand not modeled for it. \u00a0In drilling the hand I made sure to off-center the hole so the outside fingers wouldn’t be destroyed. \u00a0As per my standard approach, I lead with a pin drill and then drilled by hand with a regular power drill bit. \u00a0The thumb of course had to be reconstructed with some greystuff. \u00a0It’s too big by scale but holds the tubing in place (assisted by some glue) and looks fine, especially given that it won’t particularly be visible.<\/p>\n
Both arms are magnetized. \u00a0The left side’s a bit unnecessary, but I was worried about transporting with the banner permanently affixed. \u00a0In the end it was also helpful to place the arm on the body in order to cut and glue the pole at the correct height, which was a snap to do with it magnetized.<\/p>\n
There’s just a little bit of a psychic hood started from a nub cut from a Tactical Marine shoulder pad. \u00a0I’m actually not sure I’ll build it up much more, the model has a lot going on already so it doesn’t need much visually compared to the effort building up the hood would take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
