Another "Little" Diversion

[phreedh]

So do we have a Jotnar in the making or is he just blessed in the trouser snake department? 

They do call him Max Girth. Don't want to be on the receiving end of THAT stick!

Nah, I just had a clump of GS left over (as always) so I did a temporary schlong (as always).

Have another look in the book btw. There's a shot with a third giant too... =P The large "every gamer's dream" on the right hand page.

[Thantsants]

Oh aye yeah - spotted him! He must be the third ogre variant you can see on the SOL page.

They do call him Max Girth.

And I thought maybe you were being all cultural and stuff 

[phreedh]

I've got one of the orcs, btw... I'll post a pic when I have the opportunity. I used to have two, but sold off the other one as it was too civilized looking to pass as a 28mm troll.

Binman - don't tell me that ours will suffer the same fate! This bendy plastic has me a little nervous as to how long the paint will stick...

I guess I never washed mine, I believe if you washing in washing uop liquid it takes of the "slime".....

[manic _miner]

 No Ogre's in the batch I have sorry.Will have to dig them out.

[Erny]

Not too late to jump on the band wagon I hope? I do have two.

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Oh these are just too cool. 

[LeadAsbestos]

Oh these are just too cool. 

Agreed! I want one!

[phreedh]

I guess I never washed mine, I believe if you washing in washing uop liquid it takes of the "slime".....

Adam, are you still talking about giants or have we moved on to something completely different?! 

I primed mine (giant!) tonight. I doubt I'll get around to slap any paint on it soon though. I've been thinking about what colour to use and I have an ancient bottle of Swamp Brown that I never really got much use out of. Maybe that could work?

Glad to see you're in on it, Erny! Hope to see both of yours finished before Steve and I get our arses in gear. =D

[Thantsants]

Well I've just resculpted his left hand after giving him mahoosive banana fingers last night 

They're pretty rough but I think they'll do - might see about putting on a little undercoat tonight as well...

Must admit I'm getting a little nervous about emulating the day-glo orange paint job he has in the rulebook 

Bon chance one and all 

[phreedh]

Well I've just resculpted his left hand after giving him mahoosive banana fingers last night  

Decided to not change anything with putty. Well, except for filling the hole in his right hand and filling in the neck gap and adding a little definition to his hair. I left the horrible hands and feet alone, for instance.

Covered his upper body and face with the base colour yesterday. Took a while, there's a lot of body to cover! =)

[Thantsants]

I hope to catch up tonight - got hold of a set of the old citadel inks so I'm thinking lots of washes to make the orange skin tone look vaguely naturalistic.

[Thantsants]

Look what I've got... 



Sorry lads but I think that means I win!

I was worried that my struggle with bendy plastic, heavy eyelids (fell asleep at the painting desk at least once this week but managed to keep my face out of the paint pallete somehow!) and my inadequacies in sculpting hands and feet would get the better of me, but somehow, Interwebz glory is mine!

As you can see I've gone for the colour scheme straight out of the WFB 3rd ed. rule book.



Here's a little scene some of you might just about recognise...



Its about the nearest I can get to the original pic with the minis and scenery in my collection



And a Goblin's eye view to finish

[phreedh]

Very nice WIP Steve, keep at it for a few more weeks and you might get there.  

Joking aside - well done! A well deserved win! Hands look just fine and I'm really blown away by that group shot. Very much in the spirit of the 3rd edt rule book!

Mine is still languishing in post-wash land. =/

Do you want the orc/troll I posted? He's yours if you paint him up. No weapons for him though. Consider it your prize. =)

[Thantsants]

Ha, ha, nice try mate! 

I certainly wasn't expecting any prizes (apart from a certain degree of self-satisfaction  ) but that would be most generous of you sir - I was wondering what to paint next, and 54mm scale is certainly quite pleasantly uncomplicated!

I look forward to seeing your big guy painted up - if that doesn't sound a little wrong...
