A not so little side project

[dazza36]

So taking a break from the dwarfs to work on this beauty.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Lookin' tasty already.

 

[ManicMan]

ohh.. big boy then

 

[EricF]

Nice. Will it be the giant or will you surprise us all with a chaos spawn at the last minute

 

[Oliver26]

I bet it's worth the not so little effort you have put into it already
Looks so cool

 

[twisted moon]

... will you surprise us all with a chaos spawn ...

that would be amazing. or perhaps a giant slayer surrounded by these dismembered parts.

 

[symphonicpoet]

One order of Marauder Wild Wings to go, please. You have a legs and feet deal to go with that?

Lovely stuff! Can't wait to see what he turns into.

 

[Machen]

That's a beauty alright. I like what you're doing with the varying metallic colors and highlights.

 

[dazza36]

Some very slow progress. Finding the whole size of it a bit of a slog and not much fun.

 

[EricF]

Looking good. Good luck on the rest of the epic quest!

 

[ManicMan]

I though something was a bit familiar with them arms.. going well I see

 

[Fimm McCool]

Looks like a solid base. I know what you mean. I tried painting some 54mm fantasy figures a couple of years ago and really didn't enjoy it. The techniques are so different it was like learning to paint all over again. All the little tricks you pick up for small figures don't work on a bigger surface.

 

[OuteRimTim]

Sorry to hear its a grind. The paint job looks good so far, and the extremities (arms, hands and such) look really sharp.

 

[dazza36]

More weekend progress on the giant. Only thing without any paint are the bottles and that's because I hate trying to paint glass objects !

 

[EricF]

Looks like it's coming together nicely. The barrel wood is looking very nice. Not that you were probably planning this, but he'd also look pretty neat with grey hair actually!

 

[twisted moon]

as eric said, it seems to be coming along well.

 

[dazza36]

Not a massive update but have now given everything a coat of paint (apart from head!) and have taken the big decision to glue the arms on to body. This has made it very top heavy so need to get a base done quickly before it can fall over !!! Always struggle with glass bottles but although not the best still happy with them.

 

[ManicMan]

Bottles look fine to me. I find don't even TRY to paint them as transparent too much or anything because you need to be bloody good to get it just right..

as for falling over.. mm.. I wonder how he compares to the 4ed 'Fallen giant' template.. ^_^

 

[Fimm McCool]

Looking great!

 

[twisted moon]

i think giants are supposed to fall over if you chop off their heads.
impressive work so far.
