I've had a Kharn miniature kicking around forever that I've never done anything with so I've decided to make him into a Word Bearers Coryphaus, just for the **** of it. I want to make a cloak for him to flow out from under his backpack and I want to use a Terminator power maul as an Accursed Crozius, a la Dark Crusade. I'm also going to swap his head with something and 'chain' the book you get with the Terminator Lord to his left shoulder-pad but I digress.
First question; how exactly do you get Green Stuff to 'stick' to a miniature? Is it self-adhesive, does it need gluing or something else like pinning?
Second question; how would you go about pinning something like a power maul? It's only ca. 2/3mm wide at the shaft. Would it be easier to cut Kharn's left arm off completely and maybe use the power maul arm from the Dark Angels chapter upgrade?
Third question; is all of this hopelessly ambitious for someone who's never done anything other than head or weapon swaps before? How hard is it to actually sculpt a billowing cloak from GS? In theory it seems quite simple.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
