Title: Shoggothy Shoggoth
Post by: Mr. Peabody on October 01, 2014, 05:21:09 PM

For thirty-two years I have cherished this as an unpainted lump of lead in my collection. When the  Grenadier 'Call of Cthulhu Creatures' box-set was released, I thought it had been made just for me... And look! A Shoggoth!!! Heady stuff. ;D

No doubt many of us felt that way.  :D

I'm forever grateful to whomever first did a black & green Shoggoth treatment. You helped me get this classic wee mini painted at last. I copied shamelessly took inspiriation from Matakishi, the Tengu Models website and anywhere else I could find a photo reference.

Glad you like it gentlemen.

The gloss finish made it a bit of a pain to photograph, but I can't imagine it being finished any other way.  8)
