Muton at large

Post by Red Baron »

. . . I know you've seen this kind of custom of Muton before, but here's my attempt. The picture's not too good I'm afraid - I've had to adjust the brightness because in all the others I've taken, his face strangely burns out!

Very nicely done though mate! I'm working on the same thing myself but with the Barons head. (well, I say 'working on' but I really mean 'started a year ago and never really got round to finishing')

Very smooth job! Does the Muton helmet sit over the head ok?

I'd like to have removed the inards from the helmet so it sat back on, but at the moment the helmet is as removed. I've not really got the right kit to remove the framework inside and wanted to make sure I kept the accessory stalks. Can see I'm going to have to invest in a Dremel!

Don't! It's a real pain! Then the storks fall out, and need gluing back in! (that's why mine has been a work in progress for a year!). It looks cool as it is, and even if you did dremmel it out you'd want to display him holding it anyway!

i used my dremmel at high speed and melted the insides so the attachments stay on.
bit of an accident but it worked better than i thought it would

Good job, I like idea of the muton having an identity,

This was my attempt .... stalks glued in but sturdy enough :)
Helmet is quite a nice fit too.

Nice use of Road Pig's wrist crossbow Andy I found it never did clip onto Road Pig's wrist too well.
