I had a nice comment about icicles on the base of one of Man-o-War Demo Corps while attending Blood and Steel.
I’ve been avoiding adding anymore as they are very labour intensive but I have encouraged to look into doing more by the nice man who spotted them.
My old method involved cutting clear Perspex into Icicle shards which took ages and they always looked a bit think. I have read of a technique using a hot glue gun instead so decided to give this a bash.
Step one is to draw out some lines of the glue on a suitable surface.
Next step is to cut the glue into suitable shaped using a scalpel. Then simply glue into place with a spot of superglue.
Add a few more Icicles to taste. To give a little extra strength I then went over the icicles and the area around the point of attachment with some Vallejho water effect.
And here is a picture of the completed miniature complete with the icicles.
