Apologies to <a href="http://www.coolminiornot.com/214394"><span style="color: #aa77aa;">goblin1980</span></a>&nbsp;for obviously ripping off his idea, but it looked so nice that I wanted to have a go...</span><br /><br /></span></span></p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the first time I have tried to create anything imaginative with GWs water effects and&nbsp;I found it a lot easier than I&nbsp;thought it would be. The blood / gore effect was created by wrapping two small&nbsp;lengths of fuse wire around the painted claw so that I had four bits hanging down. I then mixed a small amount of water effect with a suitably bright red paint and dabbed it on. Leave to dry and repeat. This worked a lot better than I expected it to (experience has taught me to be disappointed after the first attempt).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cow comes straight off the giant kit and required very little work other than bending the tail and cutting a small gash in its side. I filed the gash with pva and then dabbed in the same water effects as the claw blood. Easy again.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoy the overall effect. I am quite pleased with it. Maybe next time I will try a little more imagination...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I am still 10 painting points behind my painting target and on my painting table sit marauder horsemen. Last time I tried these, they look longer than I hoped, so it does not look likely that I be catching up on the schedule any time yet...</span></div>
