Lol… I think you should just cut some feet off somewhere and glue them to the bottom of the hat. That things huge.
nitroglysarine:
thinking of cutting it in half around the middle, and seeing if a squatty hat would work with the ‘flat heads’
nitroglysarine:
Anyone know the diameter and height of the old Cd of the hats?
that fella:- http://sheffieldirregulars.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/chaos-bighat.jpg
I’m trying to what to aim to modify them to.
aka_mythos:
Just eye balling the picture relative to the base… its about 12-15mm at the largest diameter and about 20mm from brim to spike tip.

Left new, right old silly hat.
Better?
He’s a more sensible height now at least.
although he seems to look a touch oriental, or is it just me.
Shakhorth:
Much better, I’d like a hat like that. Would protect me from the rain 
nitroglysarine:
Yeah it is a touch ‘umbrella’ like.
I have a funny feeling i’ll be getting a few more of these done tonight. Then the green stuff can come out to play 
I do love doing the dread beards.
Also I got my Immortals helmets done tonight, they are pretty cool, and even thought of a way of covering up the moulding lines and the faults that come from my method of casting - they might look a bit ‘beefeeter-eque’
-Pics to follow
Zanko:
I agree - the second yellow BagHat is much better!
Looks good not silly!

sweet, working on a blunderbus-dude atm.
think i’ve got an odd way of making the blunderbus.

Very nice start on the CDs from Mantic…
Question… how are you finding them to rank up though? I am also trying to make mine with GWs… though am concerned on how they will rank up nicely… or at all in some cases…
nitroglysarine:
Very nice start on the CDs from Mantic..Basing:- trail and error, I find that the turny bases actually make it easier to find positions that they work in.

Image of them ranked up, bottom obviously has the spray on beard, can’t put my hand on my green stuff 
This one was to show that the mantic dwaves are a bit taller than the GW dwaves, … i can live with that
Still they are shorter than the damn humies.
nitroglysarine:
after a bit of thought, i think i’m going to give my immortals some nice modded axe things:- see picture
The only problem is I have is i need some axes like the old chaos one pictured. any suggestions to get hold of the bits??
nitroglysarine:
after an hour the green stuff is on, jaws done, beards done.
Opinions? Comments?
I’m mulling over making the tusks a bit smaller, its just really REALLY hard to attach when they are smaller. :~
Da Crusha:
I think they looks pretty nice. alot better with the new beards, tusks look good. the only thing I would try to do is sculpt another line in between each of the beard curls. I always felt that the beards looked nicer the tighter the curls are. although, I have never attempted to sculpt bighat style curly beards before.

nitroglysarine:
So thinner beards and more lines or just more lines? - that’s quite hard to do in places if the beard isn’t to well attached.
I’ll give it a go.
aka_mythos:
I think its more a comment on the texture of the beards. Rather than having lines that go completely across each lock of beard, try making them only go part way across alternating which side of the lock of beard they start from. That seem to be standard look. The way you have them, while they look good, maybe too good in a sense.
