Would be too ambitious for me - she looks great so far.

Great sculpt. It's all coming Lang really nicely.

[OSHIROmodels]

Coming along nicely and that sculpt is a cracker

Nice!

Both the build and sculpt are great. Will the smoking hot tempress be the fire part of your work?

[Duke Donald]

Thanks everyone for the nice feedback.

Didn't think about that   . The plan is to add four braziers with LEDs inside (one red, one orange and one flickering), but if the stuff I've ordered doesn't arrive on time, I'll go for your suggestion  .

I went to the forest next door to source some material. Despite the snow, I found what I was looking for:



Though, still no success with the statue, despite having soon put on the build every single item I could put my hands on, I still don't know what will go on there eventually.

I've changed my concept a bit and I feel I have now a good idea of how the whole thing should look once finished. There will still be a temple and fire, but somewhat less doom.

Some slow but steady progress on the structure, but as you can guess frm the picture, I'm still trying out different statues  :



The victim/temptress is slowly getting there. I need to fix some details, clean up the sculpt and add hair.

For a second there I really think you lost it.

Maybe go to a $2 shop (or similar - not sure where you are) where they sell a lot of cheap little Asian trinkets. A buddha or Shiva in resin or brass might suit.

Nice work

Thanks for the nice feedback SI.

What's wrong with the Temple of the Giant Apple of Doom?

Did that already ... The problem is that it's not entirely clear to myself what I want due to faulty planning. My initial sketches were some Ziggurat-like structure with a pseudo-Assyrian/Babylonian look. I then realised how bad it would be for gaming (i.e. no cover). So I decided to add either trees or columns to the outer structure (still to be built). However, both options give a radically look to the building. I think I'll decide on the statue once the rest is built.

I've finished the victim/temptress. There are a few problems but I'm quite happy with the general feel of the mini.

The apple works better than the jigsaw in my opinion* 

Very nice build, I'm curious to see what the statue will turn out to be. 

*and that resurrected an old idea - Pepperland invaded by the Blue Meanies, dropping green apples on everyone's heads.

Very impressive sculpt.

Looking great so far. Can't wait to see this one finshed.

[dampfpanzerwagon]

The female sculpt is looking awesome.

PS,
I also like your use of Green Fruit to tempt us. 

[von Lucky]

I thought it was an old potato at first. Not sure an apple is better...
