Here is my Malanthrope WiP. I am making 3 of these bad boys.

I am about to get into the Green Stuff phase. I don't have too much experience with it. I want to create a flat armor plate where the "butt" is. Also I was planning on making the egg sacks more organic looking.

I am toying with the idea of using the PVA/super glue mix to cover the eggs. Has anyone done this on an actual model? I have seen it with bases, I assume it will work the same, just have to keep the PVA glue from running where I don't want it too.

Any tips/C&C?

Thanks

Bad news is, that doesn't look much like the Malathrope from FW.

Good news is, it's still terrifying enough to make me pee my pants, which is good for representing a Malathrope!

If you wanna get the goopy look on the egg sacs, maybe try some hot glue gun glue. Those can be very icky and droopy and can be "teased" while still soft to get some really vein-y looks.

I havnt put the head on yet. I looked at concept art, this is basically this tuturial, i just added venomthrope arms as well.
