Been working with the wonderful and esteemed Alex from Forge of Ice to realise a concept he had for some scenery. It's about 70% done and I'm aiming to be done by the end of the week. Thought you guys might like a look at the progress as it happens :)

Looking good so far. Really like the head on the creature. :)

Dsungaripteriffic. Nice wing wrinkles. :)
What's the plinth made from, or how did you get that texture on it? Snazzy bas-reliefs too.

Thanks guys :)

I probably made it the long way round really - i scrunched up tin foil to the aproximate shape and then applied layes of green stuff, kept working it flat on a hard surface. When I got it about right I used various grades of sandpapaper to push the texture in, along with a few textures using pointy instruments etc.
Next time I would probably cut the shape from wood and put flat sheets of putty iver the top.

I'm really happy with how this is coming along :)

Outstanding work!!! can't wait to see more.

That's great! :-*

And it's finished!

It's in two pieces, the top is separate from the base (it should be easier to cast this way).

The base may possibly be useful as a separate piece, too.

That should be fixed by January, too. :D
For now, though, I post regular updates to the Forge of Ice Facebook page ( Facebook.com/ForgeofIce ), and to the main thread over in the Pulp forum here.

Nice Pellucidar vibe.
