heya!
that's my first post here so as infroduction I decided to bring one of my minis - based on sketch from CoC rpg rulebook :)
now I want to make other project based on CoC fluff (3 of 4 mad cthultists are already painted)
anyway just wanted to say that as CoC great fan and keeper of secrets I'm f***in' happy I've found this forum so expect more spam from me :D

That is one beautiful beastie!  :o  :o  :o

As if the figure was not good enough, the paint job is excellent as well!

Thanks for sharing. I feel the madness creeping in already! :lol:

Very nice. Did you sculpt the whole thing or is it a conversion?  Either way its really good with great painting.

Man, this really is one weird and creepy sucker!
The dynamics of the sculpture and the paintjob are excellent!


Would You let us in on what putty You did use?

Looks like he used Super Sculptey and the shattered dreams of madmen to make that.

The painting really, really makes it work. It looks like oily darkness!  :D  :o

ralph

there are no useful WIP piccies unfortunatelly because as I mentioned it was experiment (mad experiment! bwahahahahahaha... :P ) and there was a chance I'll fail to finish the whole thingy;
next time I can make some step-by-step pics to show the process of raising of this slimy guy

about casting: although I have possibility to cast stuff this model would probaby be uncastable :( every tentecle has been drilled and pinned o the body and there are also wires inside to make whole construction stronger;
and last thing: I can't imagine writing the instruction of adding ~30 tentacles to the monster's body :wink:

100% sculpt, the only parts I used were:
- paper clips
- string
- 3 transistors (IIRC that's the proper name of these patrs)
- sth I've found on the bottom of my bitz-box and here it's supposed to be antenna of any sort (the main idea was to make cyber-cthulhish beast: summoned by mad cultists, bounded, upgraded with electronic stuff and released back)

hmmm...
encouraged by positive feedback I'm spamming onother one :oops:
this was made about last easter and was another test of some "technical" solutions

the whole backgroung story is:
tank crew drove too far on the patrol, vehicle stucked in swamp, crew abandoned it; after many years tank was "found" by ctonian-like monster living there and now You can see it trying to find anything tasty inside (canned meat :P )
