Admiral:
A friend of mine recently asked after a technique for creating hanging blood drops on miniatures. I’ve seen something extremely tedious on a Golden Demon entry involving a human hair and a fine drop of super glue, but there must be less insane ways to do it, right?
Thanks in advance for advice! :cheers
torn:
Im not sure if it would be possible but really thin fuse wire and green stuff should do a similar thing. Im not 100% sure what you mean by a ‘hanging’ blood drop, I would need to see an example.
Admiral:
Nice idea, torn! I’ll further it to my mate. As for hanging blood drops, it’s hard to find a reference picture with a quick search, but something like this yet upside down is what he have in mind:
Hanging/dripping, as opposed to blood drops gliding down surfaces.
Dînadan:
Have you thought about googling for tutorials on drool/spittle; should be the same principle (save for colour)
Admiral:
Thanks for the tip, Dînadan! I was about to read a study text when my friend asked about it, so I just posted a question here and went on with reading. During a Google search for “spit drool miniatures tutorial” this one showed up. Case closed?
Dînadan:
Looks good - you could either paint it red after it dries, or possibly try mixing red ink into the glue before using the technique.
Grimbold Blackhammer:
A human hair will work. Glue it to the model and then add one drop of super glue and let it run down. Lastly add a tiny bit of red to the string and it will mix with the glue. It takes practice.
Nicodemus:
I’ve made small blood drips and drool gobs with green stuff before. The initial ball of GS needs to be very small. Pinch one end and roll it into a tip so that you have a trumpet shape that is rounded at the opposite end. Make sure that the shape is stubbier than you want at this stage. Use a little super glue on your model where the drip will hang from and carefully attach the tapered end, then with a wetted sculpting tool carefully draw/pull the rounded end down and away from where it is attached. These are fragile though, and I’ve broken some off multiple times while painting.
I think a piece of fine jeweller’s wire could work inside the GS too, but haven’t tried it.

Admiral:
Thanks for your advice, Grimbold and Nicodemus. I’ll further them to my friend.

This guy is the Lord of All Hobbying. He makes basically everybody look like a rank amateur. Most stuff can be found on his site, including a blood drop tutorial.
Ben Saunders:
I’ve not tried it myself, but Lord Borak posted a drool tutorial elsewhere which I’m sure could be adapted:
