Wow. I really like where this is going.

Very impressive sir.

Another Update, this time the Bionik eye is in place and you can see some of the claws in the feet (to get rid of that hippo look). As you can see I have not yet built any shoulder on that side yet.

Very nice custom build, coming along beautifully.

looks like forgeworld

Unreal Cool, keep going. Can't wait to see the finished producted.

This is absolutely phenominal.... I just can't get over the level of detail, and the texture and everything... of of which is scratch-built ? man... you could put GW out of buisness

Oh. My. Emprah.

How on EARTH do you have the patience to do all those scales?!?!?!?!?!

Sweet blood of the Emprah, man! That is incredible. Especially since DAS can be nasty to work with at times.

Keep it the heck up, man!!! The HECK UP! That is just righteous beyond belief. Wow.

Howabout " 'Ardscab" for the name? Or maybe 'Ardface, since he has a hard face. 'Ardbitz? Squigbitz?

Or perhaps, "Squiggy". Simple and descriptive!

Anyway. This is really cool. Really, dang, cool.

wow.

i am truly impressed, it is so awesome
i have always been thinking of starting orks, and you sir,have just managed to get me completely orkified!

may gork and mork be with you

Whoooooohaaa!! Lookin' killy. How did you get the scales to look that great??

Its really looking amazing. Easily the best squiggoth Ive ever seen. Period. I still cant get over how nice the whole mouth turned out.

That is so uber-awesome!!!



Now I've just got clean up all the drool on the floor...

Here is the first of two lobbas for squiggy. Built from an electrical conduit pipe (with a section cut out to create a smaller diameter), plastic card, rod, pipe and paper.
The Squiggoth himself has had some more work on the armour, but still needs more done before any extra pics. Anyhow, here are some pics of the lobba.

Holy Cow! How do you make such cool stuff?

wow.

I wish I was half as good...

mechanical leg..... GENIUS!

Wow this looks intense!

Nice lobba

At your pace, I thought this whole thing would be done by now! Of course that is unreasonable, but you set an unreasonably high standard for us to expect at the beginning

Great work!!

This is really awesome work, man. It looks great.

Wow.. that thing really turned out well.. i remember when you first posted i didn't think anything of it.. but with that paint job.. it really works now =)

Keep it up man, can't wait to see it finished..

cool cannon

Squiggie's comin' long' fine!
nice work.

A few more pics of item I have been working on recently for squiggy. Another super lobba visible in the howdah, claws of the feet, reworked tusks and shoulder armour.
I'm currently working on the rest of the armour, but the clay needs a couple of days drying time between modelling sessions, so progress is slow.

Wow again. How do you get the detail so good on the scales?

Thats just amazing! you are very skilled.

Simply amazing. Excellent work!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(snore)

Hmm, I seem to have had a large number of questions relating to the scales on squiggy. I may be coerced into doing a tutorial on these if there is enough interest, let me know!

It has been a little while but here are some fresh pics of my WIP squiggoth. New work since the last update...Rear leftside armour, armour attachment wires, layered detail for the howdah underway, gunner position chutes added to the underside of the howdah (not visible in pics). The cardboard howdah is being skinned with plastic card then bits of armour, rivets and decoration are being added. Note weedy space marine for size comparison. Incidentally squiggy is about as long and wide as a baneblade and a good deal taller.

I'd probably recommend hitting the edge of the armour with a dremel or something before you get into that painting too far. Aside from that, this is a pretty good job, dude Very impressive.
