Modeling Liquid in Motion Using the Miniatures of Tomorrow Method
Hey there true believers, here I am with another Tutorial in my never ending series to help you become a better miniaturist!
Today, I’ve got a real treat for you. I’ve been working on this technique for a few months now, and have finally mastered it. It’s one of the effects I’m asked about more than any other. I’m talking about capturing liquid in motion.
Most of the time, when you see blood in miniature, it’s thin tendrils of UHU Glue, painted over with a transparent red paint. While the effect can be neat, I wanted something with both a higher degree of verisimilitude, and capable of withstanding tabletop caliber handling.
After an inordinate amount of trial an error, I’ve created an incredibly cheap effect that is more durable than the miniature itself ( it’s pretty much completely flexible), and can be used to create any liquid shape you’d like. The only limit being the depths of your imagination.
Lets start with the materials you’ll need, after the jump.
