In recent years I decided the best way to do this is to make/convert a number of casualties with various parts that can be changed out. Then make a mold of those conversions and cast them up. I make the molds using Smooth-on OOMOO 30, a two part mold product, then I make casts using Smooth-on's Smooth Cast 300, which is also a two part product. I do end up with air bubbles because I'm not using a pressure tank. On these wounded and casaulties its mostly the feet that I have this issue with. Sometimes that random air bubble ends up in good place for a nice gory wound.
Below you can see the one Viking on the four wide infantry base. I will have two more vikings that I'm painting separately that I will apply to the base afterwards. The downed viking is simply one of GB Plastics that I have modified and flattened out his backside. The other thing I did with this one is I left off the head and both arms.
So there you have it the first bit of viking eye candy for my movement trays is modeled up.
Gorgeous...
