I know you have obviously already repositioned this figure but one of the tricks I've learned and used over the years is to heat the miniature, then while it's still warm and in the position I want dunk it in ice water. This causes the warm plastic to quickly cool in the position you want.

I think I'm going to try the water dunk thing prior to reheating. I want Larry's right knee to bend a bit more for a more symmetrical stance. The cold shock may help it set more firmly as opposed to losing shape while cooling off slowly. I've carved a bit more of the spot where the arms are and where the wings will be. I'm currently distracted by an encounter I need to get written up for next Thursday. I was going to run the Iron King as written, but I don't really like it that much and my players have already had one failed whack at it (my fault, not theirs). To avoid duplicity and make it a more enjoyable story, I've got some re-working to do. Though Larry will hopefully be making his first appearance too.

The Iron King was really half-hearted. Virtually no plot and, the whole thing is a series of combat encounters. I assume a deadline compelled them to write it in that fashion.

If your gonna have another whack at The Iron King you should check out one of the older threads called Iron King Redux... it has lots of killer ideas that will help flesh it out and make it more of a story and not so much just a series of fights.
Why did the hoop cross the road?

I really have no idea, just love Hoops, they have always been my favorite... the Gallus gallus was busy... thats the best I could come up with.

I told him he was no Lucas and he got his bloody revenge.

Checking it out now, thanks!

Thanks! I need to get back on it. I think the form is turning out to be quite easy, it's the painting I am now dreading.
