Archaeopteryx
So, you gotta love these guys. They were on sale, so I
got three of them. But especially with something this
big, I didn't want them all identical. So a simple head
reposition should do it.
I just sliced off the necks of two of them (leaving the
other one in the position it came) and bridged the gap with
some copper wire.
Now a bit of modeling compound where the neck was.
I used wood putty for these because it dries fairly quickly,
is pretty rigid, and takes paint well. Also, I had just
done some work on a door in the house and had a tiny bit
left over.
Here they are together.
Now the plain ones can serve as to work with the dismounted figure
or as a pair of monsters that aren't quite identical.
After I was done, I decided to "roll" the wings a bit. Basically,
since these are soft plastic, you can deform the wings, hold them
in place for a day with a hair clip, then let them unroll back
toward their molded shape. They don't get quite back to normal.
I think this close up shows the minor variation you get. Many times
you get that minor variation from bad packaging.
