Vikotnik's-a-makin'-a-Krakin' (Pictures of finished paint job 27-08-2013)

It looks wonderful- especially when placed against the ship. Also the water effect is very nice. Did you sculpt it and then cast in clear resin?

[Westfalia Chris]

Monstrous in the most positive way! 

It was a wise decision to go with the purplish grey - the finished effect looks very natural and appropriate for the shape and size of the beast. The metallic red on the eyes looks great, too.

It looks great. Very, very nice, best one of these I think I have seen

[Torben]

It's a Krakin' paintjob to say the least!

(...) I used Reaper Master series coloured metallics on the eyes. (...)

That did work quite well. The whole beast turned out nice (as far as giant angry Octopods can be called nice that is).

I talked to Zafarelli from pardulon-models.com about releasing this. This monster is far too huge to garner any real interest, I think, but If you really would like to have one of these beasts, we would make them. However, we could only produce them if we would sell at least 5 of them. Feel free to contact me about details.

Wonder if it would be a good idea to offer sets of just the tentacles. Could imagine people using them for settings/ situations where huge tentacles are needed, but no Kraken.

Jesus, that's really nice!  I missed this thread, but I'm very glad I found it.

Sublime mate 

Thank you, Jim!

When doing some research, I saw the documentary about the giant squid being caught on film for the first time ever. They filmed in an absurd location, about 600 metres below water level. Nobody expected the animal to look like it would be made of some kind of organic metal.   Man, I freaked out about how impossibly alien it looked! Like a being not from this world.

Glad you liked it, amazing wasn't it and the reaction Japanese fella was rather touching as well 

cheers

Missed this thread until now. What can I say? It's awesome.
