Building the Otherworld Giant with Filla Glu
July 17, 2010 by lloyd
So we thought it would be useful to show you Filla Glu not to mention the class Otherworld Giant, 1 of 5 in the G Series. Why during Warhammer Week I hear you ask, simple there’s loads of metal models in fantasy and this Filla Glu range is epic at sticking metal! but be careful not to stick your fingers together.
It’s so good that this very heavy model (1.9kg when packed for shipping) is put together with out a pin in sight. So sit back and watch John at work and see how he preps the model and fills in any gaps.
For those of you interested in these products here’s some links and over on the right you can click the pricing option to go straight through to Wayland Games who are carrying Filla Glu.

Nevermind small creatures ! you could beat a child to death with that! its huge! no pun intended
Another great video, John! You did a good job, it sure looked like it was a lot of trouble working with such a heavy model. It looks very big, much bigger than a Games Workshop giant, but could you perhaps make a size comparison video? Maybe include it in a video where you paint it?
Also… that giant is OVER 9000!!!!!!!
Can you still get the Powda? not seen it anywhere?
Would Green Stuff be easier?
Nice glue set. But… so much hassle. Personally, I would use two components epoxy glue and then green stuff to fill the gaps. And possibly some pinning job also. 🙂
Anyway, nice video!
it was really nice to see it primed after assembly 🙂
I cannot find the brush on conditioner. According to Filla-Glu’s website, the kicka pen does the same. Is there another place to get the conditioner or is it even needed?
I think you should have that model sent out to get a competition quality paint job. Since it is a limited edition model it deserves some special attention.
Great instructional video but those glues look like so much hassle. Zap gap and the evil Zip kicker would be so much quicker. Credit to you for suffering for your art.
I have to get me some of that stuff. 🙂
hey just wondering, if you use kicka pen do you still have to pin your models?
John nice video. But I have one problem with the vid. YOur left hand kept blocking the shot. If I may be so bold as to make a sujestion. You should move the close cam back to your right side. Like it was on the old set.
Excellent video John!
Eventhough I am not a big fan of the model itself (Ramshackle have a nice Hill Giant, and the Ultraforge one is much easier to work with) you just made me become a better modeller.
My Albion giants and Heresy Netherlords will finally see completion… and my Hellcannon(s) will too.
John,
Why do only use the conditioner on one side of the joint? Wouldn’t it be best to use it on both?
AHA So you did use it both parts while I was typing the question in my first post DOH 😉
I haven’t seen powda used before and its pretty cool. I’d prefer to just use greenstuff though. You can get the join perfect the first time without having to sand it and aside from the drying time, its quicker to work with. Plus, you couldn’t use powda on a gap that needed the details to match such as fur or scales, but I can see where it would have its uses.
aye man but the powda will make i stronger john was tellin me he droped one that was sent over half built and it didnt do a thing
I just looked at the cost of this model £65…. woooow….. a tad bit expensive :S
To me I think it just seems like to much trouble, i’ll stick with green stuff. Good vid though.
Excellent video John, very informative. Showed me some big mistakes I’ve been making with metal models.
Are there any plans to do similar building tutorials for plastic and/or resin? I know plastic is a bit run of the mill, but a lot of new modellers would like some guidance when starting out and some old guys like myself may have bad habits you could eliminate. And I’m a bit reluctant to use resin because of all the extra precausions needed.
Again, excellent video. 🙂
Very cool stuff. Thanks for the tutorial.
That’s awsome and the glue + filler is great. Here is a challenge for you though John…
I just bought a gamezone dark elf sorceress on Pegasus as the model looked so cool. However, I have now got the model and it’s a nightmare! Huge gaps all over the place, and the rider doesn’t even sit on the model properly! most disappointing 🙁
great vids you’re doing
great video, but i’d have pinned it for extra safety with it being that big.
How does using this filler process fair against just filling it with green stuff?
As that can also be sanded and made into the shape of the model as well as acting as extra strength in bonding the model.
this is an excellent video
This is why I’m so happy for plastics. Love the heft of metal, despise the fuss and time.
So are we goign to see a 3 color up for this model ?
Excellent video! I heard about this technique, but by seeing it, it now makes more sense to me. I have stayed away from larger models. But this really makes it seems reasonable to get a good result.
Keep up the great work, John. Never mind what people might say about blowing on metal unmentionable bits.
