Smooth it out with your sculpting tools and don't touch it.

Very cool. I love seeing models evolve and grow like this.

Soooo awesome!

Sorry to be annoying but I've been thinking of starting a project like this for a long time (not that I'll have a prayer of reaching your standards of sculpting), but not really knowing where to start.

Are you using GW Green Stuff? I've seen a lot of people use homemade tools (using dowel and knitting needles/pins, among other things) to do scratchbuilds like this; is that what you're using? Also, did you use milliput or something of the like as a base?

Answers to any or all of the above would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

First off, I'm a moody recluse. SO everyones Annoying... However, Questions and comments are Always welcome.
GW, Army painter, and who ever elses "greenstuff" is just repackaged Kneadatite epoxy putty.
Greenstuff is mold-able, sand-able, drill-able, cut-able... I have a TON of tools both purchased((dental tools, Royal Sovereign "clay shapers", ect, ect..) and hand made to work with it. I can't stand Milliput, It's a texture thing. Besides plasticard tubes he's all GS.

Well Done so Far am looking foward to seeing more of this boss..

The Shoulder armor is just balanced precariously atm..

Sweet Gork it looks amazing! I could never hope to sculpt something that detailed and Orky, keep up the great work!

Love. That is what I'm feeling right now. Floating heart bubbles and all that jazz

Amazing!

Wonderful work here. Very impressive sculpting and great to see the stage by stage progress. Love how sharp all your edges are on the armoured & metal parts

Thanks!

Looking drop-dead gorgeous... as in drop-dead ugly.

Asking in blithe ignorance; how are the flat/round bits like shoulder guards or hydraulic tubes made? I would have assumed they would start as plasticard but yours are, well, green.

I roll out whole sheets, blocks, rods, Days ahead of time and use them like you would plasticard.. structural pieces will have wire or plastic-rod inside for rigidity.

He's looking meaner and meaner every time I check in on this thread. Truly epic sculpting, dude!

As for the perceived lack of replies to this thread, I'm with Ruglud: just keep posting and you'll see enthusiasm for your stuff go up exponentially.. (My own P&M blog is often morgue-like for months on end, no matter how many updates I post).

One question: what base is he on? It's starting to look a little small (as he gets beefier and beefier) and also a little lopsided (ie he's not in the middle of it any more). Would putting him on a bigger base be too much of a pain in the arse?

don´t take the silence as a form for ignorance or loss of interest...this is more a case of the quietness that is forming due to awe...

your sculpting is simply stunning...and i use simply due to a lack of words
such crispness is seldom seen!

Thank You!

It should be pretty easy to swap out his base if he out grows it too much..

Killer!!!

Great work fella. Really liking how this guy is growing

That is just plain incredible. I love its left arm in particular, really dynamic looking. Also, a lot of people look at the work and don't comment...it is the way of the internet.

Also, quick question. How do you attach the pieces as you put them on, as in, fasten them?

That is bloody superb! Fantastic work!

Will you be painting or casting this guy?
