Dima Number Three

[tomb]

I’ve recently been very lucky to have had a third Dimachaeron printed for me. My first two are both Forgeworld. Well one definitely is the other may be. And strictly speaking I did kit bash one as we all have before owning the Forgeworld ones.
Anyhoo, a massive thank you to Sheildwolf for his excellent print and more so for his incredible work in re posing this Dima before printing it.

Firstly I did a little repair on a chimney. I soon learnt that photo do da resin is both brittle and dusty.

Next was the fun bit, trying to figure out how it goes together! 



And a quick comparison with Dima no 1.

Most weight bearing bits got pinned.

Now came a little deviation from the plot. I can’t help myself when it comes to making changes ‘in the flow of it’.
The model has been designed to hold onto a fantastic bit of statue but I spotted an old bit of terrain on my shelf and thought, ‘ I wonder if I could use that instead’. So began a challenging hour of trying to make changes for changes sake whilst Storm Eunice gusted 70+ hour winds over the top of my man cave.
The reality of this meant that I couldn’t get my heating on due to a power cut and my usually ok sculpting skills were hampered by cold fingers and rock hard epoxy!
It took some time to fix the basic pose and balance but I was well chuffed.

I added magnets as that’s the best way to transport Dimas.

And eventually got most of the limbs and appendages attached. I noticed that I had changed the pose a fair bit but I’m happy.
Massive thanks to Shieldwolf for such a cool model.
I need to do some clean up before priming but I hope to get him painted this week…

Looks like you're off to a great start! :-) Gonna be real fun to see what you turn it into!

That (please do not swear) with the statue is so cool. I lost my dima two years ago in a kitchen fire. That mini is so awesome.
