Thats better don't want to see the crack of dawn again thanks the armor and chain looks good and the base of the boots but you could do with shaping the top section of the boots a little taper them in to give more shape.

He's coming along nicely. What are the different materials you're using? I've never touched any sculpting. It'd be cool to see a size comparison

Also get well!

@ ckig, Here you go, size comparison.



And materials wise, Greenstuff, Milliput, and Abrosteel, for putties. I use the three for there different qualities. Greenstuff gives a smooth finish and is easily worked, but sets "rubbery", Milliput is cheaper, stronger when set and can be better sanded and "Dremeled", but takes forever to cure, and Abrosteel, or rapid steel ( metal putty), is very fast curing, sets very hard and is workable with a Dremel etc, but is expensive, and you don't really get time to "sculpt" it to shape before it sets. I also combine the different putties to give me different results, they all knead together quite well, my favourite would be Milliput and Greenstuff, sets quick and gives a smooth strong workable finish, (check out the boots). It makes great cloaks or flags, because it is so rigid and strong even when thin.

Hope that helps.

@ LDD funny was working on that as you spoke, good call, this any better...




Thanks for looking in.

Coming along well, and properly sized for a proppa Boss!

He's looking huge! Nice work. And thanks for the bit of info

Large and in charge......and then there's your Orcs . Nice work so far on the orc torso cast, and classy boots. Always wondered if there were orc cobblers as somehow they all have boots that fit them, and they aren't imperial standard issue.

Yes, yes, yes. That's a really good job on scale.

Yep that works for me and dont forget the laces

Thanks everyone.

LDD you do like to set me a challenge don't you....




And a few other little bits...







Thoughts?

Shucks howdy that gun looks like he ripped it off a tank, he could probably just drop it in a guardsman and crush him to death. Epic war boss is epic

Hey how else will you get better if we don't push your talents Looks great by the way and glad to see like a true ork the laces ain't laced

The gun is a hell of a combi looks like a mix of the old storm troopers, Kraskins and Imperial guard grenade launcher, nice blade as well what did you use for the handle ?

Truescale. Oh yes. Nice stuff.

It never occurred to me to mix putties. Intriguing idea.

And how did I miss that Troop transport? Excellent work.

Weapons are looking good. Can't wait till it's finished

Do your talents know no limits ?? Impressive stuff

Looks like one healthy sized warboss

Truely what was missing from the new Ork lineup was a real scale Warboss. Something the matches the fluff. Very nice to see this progress.
Due to the Nature of the 'Beast' your conversion skills can be put to the test. Good Job so far.

This is still very WIP.

Oh Thank you for the comments they mean a great deal, I think I must be somewhere in the ball park.

Splashed a little paint....



Still WIP mind, will be adding more details. And a left arm etc. Obviously.

Oh LDD the handle is some of this stuff, I think it is from Lego, Maybe the Bionical range, It is flexible rubbery stuff.



Well as always please keep the comments coming they are very much appreciated, and don't be afraid to say something is off, or you have a idea. ( Looking at you LDD....Bloody laces indeed.)

Paint as well bloody hell you just storm ahead don't you Liking the colour scheme very classic Ork with just a hint of outworld wastelander


Trust me I feel your pain when it comes to laces I got some Ork steampunk heads and decided to convert some torsos to go with the vibe still doing stitching lines


Just thought what about some kind of necklace thats orky with some kind emblem hanging from it

Cool idea using the lego ....... thing works a treat as a handle

Paint already! What a pro. Are those chequers freehanded? They are wonderfully neat looking.

With that 6 pack, he has a certain 'turtle power' vibe going on at the moment - totally sure a head will resolve that though

And what Casey said - the checked pattern looks spot on

Thank you gentlemen,

The Checkers are, as always, free handed.

Well was not going to show this yet, but can't resist, so this is where he is at right now....






He comes to bits so if I am not too happy with anything I can swap it out.



Oh and just for you LDD...


Still looking turtlish?

Thank you again and see you soon with more, thoughts appreciated.

Ello Sailor...

Brilliant, maybe just needs some scraps of armour n trophy's he,s collected on his waaarghing

ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH Look all laced up and no where to go Looks great and nice foot shot but do you think I have some kind of shoe fetish

Is that a Micro art head you used

Dakka is a fetish haven...

That is true

What a badass, he could use a cigar. Get that other arm ready so we can see an awesome squad shot.

Brilliant job with the sculpting.

So do the color of the laces mean anything to orcs?

With that little hat, I think a pipe might be better than a cigar. It is somewhat MacArthur-esque, the hat.

Cool sculpt.
