One challenge is that the biosword was metal while the enforcer was plastic. I did prime the biosword with thinned white Gesso.\u00a0I did\u00a0this modification without pinning or kneadatite which made it significantly harder than it needed to be. I used modeling putty from the local hardware store to add the hands. Incidentally, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.secretweaponminiatures.com\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=47_49&amp;products_id=166\">large biosword<\/a> is\u00a0a metal conversion piece from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.secretweaponminiatures.com\/index.php?main_page=index\">Secret Weapon Miniatures<\/a>. \u00a0Before varnishing I applied a red wash to the biosword to give it\u00a0a more biological feel.\u00a0I think that this\u00a0miniature is a fun tribute and will\u00a0make for a great nonplayer character.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I plan to use the Enforcers from Mantic Entertainment\u2019s Deadzone wargame as miniatures for playable androids in my upcoming\u00a0Science Fantasy\u00a0game.\u00a0I decided to make the next Enforcer a tribute to one of the mechanical\u00a0characters from Phantasy Star Online.
