Title: Demogorgon
Post by: Suber on 28 October 2017, 04:26:01 PM

Encouraged by the upcoming of Stranger Things 2, I've finally splaterred some paint on the Demogorgon mini :)

I've avoided the usual earthy colours used for lizard-like creatures and went for this tuquoise and purple pattern. I can say the same about eyes, I wanted them to look demon-like, so nothing reptilian. This was the result.

The bigger base serves stability purposes, I didn't think that much about it being square, round or whatever.
Here you can find it as well:

Looks great, wonderful treatment of a classic old model.
With that colour scheme he would not look out of place in a sci fi skirmish setting.

Lovely colours.
With that and the glowing eyes (not to mention the background) it gives me a very lovecraftian horror feel.

Is this model still available anywhere or is it a case of hunting it out.

Great pj. Love the colours. And the eyes particularly!

It's still available, I think. It was originally Grenadier if I recall correctly, so Mirliton might have it.

Right, as you said. Mirliton (http://www.mirliton.it/index.php?cName=fantasy-2528mm) got the rights of old Grenadier.

Thanks, chaps! :)

And I bet they're selling quite a few these days!

It has a really interesting fine multilayered texture for the scales all over the back - I wonder how that was sculpted originally?

Great series! I really got a kick out of the kids plating D&D playing in Stranger Things. (Not that I was big on role playing back in the day). Great job on this classical mini!

Your lovely, imaginative painting really saves an otherwise middling sculpt. Nice job!

Love the eyes on that guy.
I painted my one a while back but yours is much nicer.
(I must get around to painting my one from Fractured Dimensions.)
