A very nice model. Probably the best giant model I have seen. Beautifully painted to. He looks like that fella in 'The Hhills have eyes'.

I would also like to make some more river sections. I've been dying to make decent river terrain for... decades.

Now you've gone and given me a bad conscience, as I all too clearly remember that I have some Amera river sections somewhere in a box...  :?

I like your lakes/bogs, and the partially modular river will give you some nice options for tactical challenges on the battlefield.

The Ultraforge giant is, of course, as others have pointed out, a fantastic model, and you are doing it full credit with your brushes!

The face on that giant is perhaps the best thing yet on this (tremendous!) thread.

It reminds me of some John Blanche stuff - and there's no higher praise than that!

Haha, don't feel too bad. Although I've made plenty of other terrain over the years, I've been using paper or felt rivers since I started. These were long overdue.  lol

The sections above are 4" wide. I plan on making a few shorter straight sections, a few more bends of various angles, and a junction or two. I think  I would also like to create some narrower stream sections -- maybe 2" or 2.5" wide, also with various components -- including some junctions for the small streams to flow into the larger river.

Exactly! I knew that giant looked familiar, thanks!

Still having trouble getting the focus & energy to sit down & do any real painting at night, so I've been continuing with other stuff. I went ahead and put together some movement trays, as I previously posted about.

I also touched up & rebased some more Moor Hounds (Citadel dire wolves.) As with the last batch, I just repainted the red eyes, highlighted the teeth & tongue, and touched up any chipped paint. Then I put them onto new bases to fit the rest of my figures.




I also received Stuff! In the Mail! "Morrighu," a resin cast of a sculpt from Ross Whitehorn of the Fimir Facebook group. I cleaned her up, took a comparison pic and primed her and... it's a bit of the dreaded "fuzzy primer." Figures it would be on a unique figure like this. I'm going to clean her up & see if I can recover from that. I don't want to strip the figure because I'm not really sure what type of resin this is, nor how various strippers might affect the material. The resin is interesting -- it's slightly soft & flexible, but nothing near Reaper's bones or other "soft plastic" figures. It cleaned up super easy with just a blade, and drilling for pinning the pieces together was also easy. Both the sculpting and the casting on this figure are great. Nice and crisp, very little cleanup. My only (minor) criticism is that I'm not fond of the way the eye appears to be sculpted.

At any rate, here is a pic next to one of my converted Reaper figures, and an oldschool Citadel Fimir Dirach, for scale. Pretty good!

Love those giants! I've been eyeballing that Ultrafogre one for a while now.  I just need to figure out a reason to get one...
