gday

I bought sauron finecast today and hes great, the model looks crisp and detialed

However

his feet are bent slightly towards the ground and dont make an even surface for a base.I have head that there are ways of manipulating the material the way you want.Things like putting the models in hot water or somthing and then simply making it do what you want.

Is this right?

If so what do I realy have to do ?

Thanks.

Try a hair dryer. Then drop the model in cold water to reset it or freeze it back.

I looked at the video. I did not find it very useful. I did decided that the base of the model might be a little thick for a hair drier. I would suggest hot water. Start with about 130F or 50C+. Use a candy thermometer. A cheep one will do fine. You need to be careful with the water temperature so that you do not harm your
self.
The hair dryer will work well for swords and spears.

Oh ok so hairdryer for smaller parts and hot water for larger bits thanks

also does this mean that I will need to dip saurons feet in the hot water and bend it up also how long will I need to bend it and then use cold water to hold it there right.

Thanks

If it's just a little variation why not just work some terrain out with greenstuff and pin one or both feet down. You will have a more dynamic base, never see any issue with the foot angle and can get him standing exactly as you wish. I personally have done significant work on all of my monster sized bases and don't believe I have any models of that scale actually standing on the original plastic and really like it. Beside the greater creativity on the base you don't risk damage to a large, expensive and otherwise very nice looking model.
