Tuning Rubber Toys



Recently got few of those italian soft rubber toys called Gormiti. I admit I love those as they are perfect for my needs (about 5cm tall and really cartoonish-chuncky) and to figure out what to do with the random ones found in a pack is kinda fun.. As my regular minis are about 2cm tall, beasties like that are great for gigantic stuff as demons, etc.

This one was just red rubber awfully colored orange at its head, knees, elbows and claws. It featured embossed "china" in one of its legs, "CE" on its back and the ussual mould flash found in cheap toys. After scrapping and sanding it all, filled the neck's and arms gaps with vallejo acrylic putty, modelled the 2nd row of dipping lava on its back and fixed strage blobs/warps found at its left side of shoulder and face.

Now, that toonish lava elemental (would be great for Crucible wargame) is ready for painting, hopefully next weekend.

Hace nos dias conseguí 5 muñecos de goma italianos, los infames Gormiti. Lo admito, me encanta (pese a que lo que te viene es algo aleatorio y pensar como aprobecharlo es un arduo pero divertido ejercicio). Miden unos 5 cm asi que para mis miniaturas de narizones son gigantes, perfectos para demonios o en este caso, elementales.

El interfecto era de goma roja con la cabeza, codos, rodillas y garras pintadas en naranja y las típicas lineas de molde y las palabras china y CE en altorelieve en la pierna y espalda. Despues de raspar con una cuchila y lijarlo todo apliqué masilla líquida para tapar las juntas del cuello y brazos, modelé con la misma la segunda fila de goteo de lava, le di un repaso a algo raro que tenia en la cara/hombro, mas lija y listo para pintar, esperemos que la semana que viene.

Mucha palabrería ya que no hago esto todo lo a menudo que quisiera. En breva, un elemental bien majo, ideal para una partidilla de Crucible.
