I'm going to be setting up my Transformers on their own shelves in my basement and want to have a cool battle scene. I wanted to have my Wreckers vs Devastator, Superion vs Menasor, etc. But setting up a battle with close to 100 figures, with several combiners is going to take much more space than I have. My solution is to have a Last Stand of the Wreckers/ All Hail Megatron style battle ground with "corpses" strewn about. The center piece would be Devastator fighting the Wreckers. My questions is how would you make "blood" for limbs that are torn off. I'm well versed in hot glue techniques of making blood splatters but was hoping for something to simulate dripping or pooling blood that would not hurt or get stuck in tiny Transformer joints and crevices. Any ideas?
Can't help you with the actual "blood", but make sure you make it "energon" colored. Not actual blood colored. Sounds fun!
Hot glue. I just recently found out it comes in different colors. just do an online search for them. I've found pinks of different shades that i think looks like energon. Easy to manipulate into strands of dripping goo,blood,and pools of fluid.
Tape up a bunch of pieces of thread and drip super glue down it.Add additional drops to get your desired look.Make sure each coat dries so it stays translucent.After that use wash for your desired color then fit the upper thread were you can't see it.Instant drip or drool.I use this on my 25mm fantasy miniatures it looks great.
I did that with my Tyranids when I used to collect them. The glue/string trick works wonders for drool and Alien-like secretions. There's also fake water used by railroad modelers. It comes in pellets that you heat up. They become liquified, then dry solid and clear.
