Preparing the fastitocalon for the rough mould-making process.
First the head was cut off. It's tail was detached from the get-go.
Right click the picture, and open in a new tab, and you can easily see the centimeter-scale.
Pre-detached tail. It was a new experience for me to sculpt a huge monster with mould-making in mind. Made things a lot easier.
Carefully removing the head turned out to be really troublesome...
... like a slap to head. And to make matters worse: If any of you remember the drug-addict I mentioned from one of my Christmas parties back in the old job? Well, he called, very much influenced by something, while I was doing the sawing, cutting and hacking. Let's just say he didn't help in the process. A slap to the head.
Alpacalypse happened, but I managed to tidy the project up.
Size comparison with the 28-32 mm boats I have sculpted.
The three white UFO:s are made out of resin that I dropped to get nice and spherically shaped, in order to sculpt the sea-things I wanted.
(Speaking of UFO:s, the last episode aired a few weeks ago, can't say I liked it, but hey-ho, the first two seasons were wicked awesome).
To relax, I might paint this guy, presented to me by mr Joshua, whilst visiting him. This is really the only fucking good-looking model from Warhammer that I can think of. It is such a joy to my llama-eyes. There is just something about this model...
If we would go back a quick while to the fastitocalon. I would say this is roughly the scale of the beast. Not big enough to play games on top of it's shell, but large enough to be viable in a game at all...
That is all, I shall also come back ASAP with pictures and information about the Middle-Earth giant. Obviously I shall respond to comments, but now I will have to go to bed, need to get up in five hours for another project! No rest for the wicked (awesome! Wihooo!)
Hehe, nice to see the progress... And just as I give you that model bloody GeeDubb goes and makes a new one! :O
SvaraRaderaWhich one?! I have mos def missed something mister!
Raderathey replaced this changeling with a new plastic one, which you will undoubtedly like, but you know me, I kind of like the oldschool metal vibes when it comes to WHFB
RaderaOh yeah, I went to their page and found it. I am in LOVE with the metal one. You shouldnt have presented it to me. Well, *I* am happy, but you must miss it :D Again, fanks man!
