Well, I had a chap in My Army WIP and people started asking how it was done. So here it is, this can be used for other races as well as SMs. Hope its useful.What do you Need?
The Head of the model , A craft knife, needle file, superglue and some easy to score plastic.
Doing the do!
The first thing (as always) is to clean mould lines off the chaps head. Then cut a strip of the plastic slightly narrower than the ridge on his helmet for the crest mounting and bend it to the same curve as the ridge. Then glue to the ridge onj the helmet and then trim to the length you require.
The next stage is cut a larger strip of plastic for the horsehair crest, cutting a curved notch in the underside of it to match the curve of the Mounting you have made.
Then stick it on like so and trim it to size and shape like so.
To make the texture for the horsehair crest by carefully stabbing the top surface with your knife and gently score the sides,front and back as shown.
Thats It! You now have a horsehair Crest, just stick it to your dude and Paint him.
