Wow dude this is awesome, kind of looks like the lovechild of two things I like: the green martians for John Carter of Mars, and a Protheian from Mass Effect. Bravo sir, excellent job.

Congratulations for recognising the Prothean heritage

I will be posting pictures of the second configuration with the old one working at the Shadowlight console just as soon as i get the second set of hands finished, i hate hands lol.

The three eye configuration and boney crests kind of gave it away.

Is it poseable? I love the detail, but the pose is very rigid. It worked well enough for the control panel, but for the blades it looks off.

Also, you may have mentioned it, but how big is this guy? Your pics don't really reveal anything to scale him to. I image him as life sized, but I'm sure he's probably much smaller.

Anyway, great work. Definitely a piece for your book.

He stands in at 16 inches (just over)

When are you casting and selling us a copy?

Looks great - Im not entirely sure of the scale though. Is the Old One about 18 inches tall?

just over 16 inches, the guy i did this for intends to cast it if he does i can put you in touch with him certainley.

What are you sculpting with (sorry if you've already said)?

I'm just wondering: is this a three-up, or is this the full sized model?

Yes please tell us!

I use Milliput epoxy putty for all my builds as to the scale he stands in at just over 16 inches
if you want to have a look at my stuff i have way to many pictures here http://www.facebook.com/#!/marcus.cassar
If anyones interested i have put some of my older (first builds) the ultra marines stuff up on ebay but you can pm me here too.

Wow, great stuff. I'll have to look into Miliput.

if you do i would advise buying direct from the company that makes it far cheaper here's the link http://www.milliput.com/home.htm

How much have you used on this guy, for example?

I tried to skin a foam terrain piece in air-dry clay (as the foam would have outgassed or worse in the oven if I had used a polymer clay) and it didn't work at all. I have 3lbs (1.5kg?) of something similar to milliput, but I don't know if I can work fast enough to skin the whole thing - it's a roughly 16"x16"x1" tall Eldar shrine piece. Maybe I'll give it a try.

I use quite a lot i have to say however there are measures you can take to reduce the amount you are using and the weight for example Tin foil can be used to make the main body up then use a layer of milliput over the top.

Okay here's the final main configuration "THE SHADOWLIGHT" had a couple of last minute hiccups but here we are

I really like this^

I'm going to try for a 1/4" to 1/8" cover over my foam. My biggest task will be mixing the epoxy. I really liked the way it had turned out with the air-dry clay (until it cracked completely off the foam) so I'm going to have to try to repeat my work. I hope I don't run out.

This is so awesome! Congrats on a job well done!

This is beyond incredible. You need to send this into GW for their daily blog, this blows away anything I've ever seen.
