Okay, so I have a marauder giant (2 actually, but I'm working on the other one right now...) And I've done a little bit of conversion work to him;

- Turned his sandles into ghillies
- clipped his beard into mutton-chops & a goatee
- given him socks almost up to his knees
- extended his tunic down nearly to his kness into a kilt

I've painted the tartan (my tartan) on his kilt, but haven't yet made him a sporran, or sgian dhu. The knife is no problem, I have many sword bits to use, or even antlers, but I'm stumped when it comes to the sporran.

Any thoughts on a simple giant-sized sporran?

Perhaps a plastic saddle bag bit? Otherwise you should be able toGS it.

It's a little too bulgy (o_O), but maybe the big bag o' bones that comes with OK Ogres? On the left-most butt of 3 of my ogres in this shot.

You could use real horse tails to make it more authentic. Are you going to make your giant a bagpiper?

Why do Giants even wear clothes...

cos they need to cover there privated parts as they are emvarresssed. There genitailia is not in proportion to the rest of there size, sorta like steroid body builders, big everywhere but where it really counts.

Actually, as a weightlifter (although I'd never, ever use 'roids) I can tell you that that's a myth.  Steroids will shrink your testicles because your body starts relying on them for testosterone but they won't change your wang.  Think about that physically- the tissue there isn't going to change or respond to drugs- the only reason why the testicles do is because they're used to build chemicals.  When those chemicals aren't demanded of them they stop functioning in that capacity and so that tissue isn't engourged in chemicals.

Of course I've never seen someone naked who's on 'roids because there's no reason for me to, but as someone with a strong background in biophysics and a future in biomedical engineering I can say with some certainty that the wang wouldn't be changed by 'roid use.  I'd say the myth originates from perception.  Think about it- peoples' minds are set to perceive certain porportions when we look at the human body.  When everything is bigger except for the wang and the skull the mind concludes that those areas must be abnormally small.

So in conclusion that's enough of this talk   Let's stick to the original discussion, ok?

That was a little too much information, Drake.

hahaha- I'm shocked that I managed to find your 'too much info' point.  Shocked and a little proud.
