CMON4 Contest Mini

[japex]

Ok I\'m at a loss...

What is she holding in her right hand? Flowers, a mini-crossbow, a bookshelf, a set of pliers, her chastity belt, or something I haven\'t thought of?

I just can\'t figure out what it is!

Anyone?

 

[Klute]

Its sort of your second guess.I think it fires small \"razor\" discs.

Welcome to the forums BTW

 

[frenchkid]

I had the same question when I got her, and still haven\'t figured it out. So I\'m just saying it\'s a sweapon and painting metalics (if I ever get around to painting it )

 

[dauber22]

I believe it\'s a pair of molegrips lol:bouncy:lol

 

[Avelorn]

It could be a plastic bat...

 

[Kaple]

if it was a crossbow the \'arms\' should bend the other way, like this she will only shoot herself in the eye with it

I can\'t figure out what it is either...

I think I remember someone (not sure who) explaining it was a \"Mantis symbol\", whatever that is ???

If only I was good at sculpting That would be great! Hang a sniper rifle over her shoulder, remove the knife from her other hand, reposition it and give her a pint of Guiness Ah, if only I could sculpt, I\'d do it and send you one for Christmas, Too_shy.

When\'s the due date on this contest anyway? Just tried to find it from the main site, and failed. Probably somewhere obvious.

And by the way, Too_shy is totally not how I was pronouncing it. <g>

not sure what is happening just posted mine and it went up on the main site, so i took the image down and resubmitted it.

i got too *******ssed out/in/off (you choose) with her right hand , so it now has a whip in it instead, and snakes around her legs..........oh hang on....i can see this coversation going back to too_shy againlol

I don\' think you\'re the only one here, I used to pronouce it tushy ( kind of like suschi but with a \'t\' ). Actually ... I still pronouce it that way

 

[Avicenna]

Oooooh VERY interesting

so, we could have a two_shye conversion contest... mole-grips and sniper rifles galore!

But dont forget the red cat or the pink elephant suit!

Thanks for the replies guys
More questions...

How exactly would one go about submitting a mini to the contest? I can\'t figure it out.

Thanks!

My guess would be that you just upload it with the CMON contest in the title and under CMON as the maker. I didn\'t see a special contest listing when I last looked so someone correct me if I\'m wrong.

I just assembled this tiny little lady and that was a royal pain!! I managed to pin the arm holding the symbol, but I couldn\'t do it with the other arm. I\'m hoping that glue and a very small amount of green stuff will be enough to hold it in place.

I couldn\'t get mine pinned properly and glue wouldn\'t hold it. Greenstuff seems to be holding mine better than anything else I tried. She\'s managed to take some abuse and not lose those arms so far.

Oh I didn\'t even contemplate trying to pin the arms. It was bad enough trying to get them off the sprue.
There was a fairly strong Moulding line which I was worried about but that seems to have gone with the gentle application of the X-Acto Knife and 800 grit Wet&Dry.
I\'m just waiting for the green stuff on the base to dry, before I prime her, then away we go.

 

[E-Arkham]

I pinned her, though I had to borrow a friend\'s Tamiya Uber-Tiny \"Holy Crap That\'s Small\" Drill Bits (tm)... well, maybe they\'re not actually called that. But I did successfully pin her arms, and the Zap-A-Gap and green stuff is drying as I write this.

I also did some filing to get her arms in a slightly different position, though once they dry I\'ll need to do some more on the back of her dagger arm.

I guess I don\'t really mind how small THIS figure was. Even though it was a bit of a pain to assemble, it\'s not nearly as bad as those damned WotC Chainmail zombie troglodytes.
