The Mandulian Chapel has come up with a very interesting way to make conversions.

Inspiration is always a driving factor in my quest to explore new techniques in modeling and painting.  I’m constantly inspired by the new plastics that GW is releasing.  However, they don’t come cheap so to balance out my addiction for new plastic, I’m always searching for inspirations that are also cheap.  Time is also scarce these days so speedy techniques are also inspiring to me.

I’ve always been shocked by the painting quality and speed of the most prolific artists on CMON and around the blogosphere.  It seems logical that the people making a business out of commissions would have some of the best techniques.  The key is spreading the knowledge.

I was stalking out the blog of C’tan, a popular painter on CMON when I stumbled on some really awesome tutorials.  One involves mixing super glue with white glue, the other uses white glue in the microwave.  When I found those, I had hit a wall with my spawn project.  I had assembled them nearly for “free” by raiding my bitz, but blending the bitz with greenstuff was taking forever.  Those two tutorials gave me everything I needed to finish the unit quickly and with inexpensive materials.
