Been in quarantine for 14 days, so while nothing is completed – as is usual for me – here’s three of my current projects.
W][P the First – the Archer.
She started life as this model I randomly found on Amazon about a year ago:
Unfortunately, the horse section was badly miscast – actually, most of the model was pretty poor – so I decided to turn her into a bust as a modelling and painting exercise.
Also unfortunately, at some point I appear to have lost the hair sections.
So some armour repair and and an attempt to sculpt her flowing locks brought us to this:
Sculpting repairs to the side armour panels in my usual Greenstuff/Milliput mix.
The black stuff is Madworks thin superglue, it self-levels as it dries so it make a decent gap filler – over this I will use Mr Surfacer 500 to get a uniform surface.
The quiver texture was just awful, here I’m about halfway thru smoothing it down before I add some detailing.
And the hair… Mmm… Not so sure the hair has been a success.
Moving on…
W][P the Second – the Baron Not-Harkonnen
The image of Stellan Skarsgard’s Baron Vladimir Harkonnen rising on his suspensors in the Dune trailer immediately set the creative juices a-flow… just like the spice.
BNH started life from two main sections from two different models.
The upper torso and head of this Nurgle Writher-thingy (and the tentacle arm is around here somewhere…):
And the Deathguard Foetid Bloat-Drone tendrils:
So with some cutting and glueing and pinning and more glueing and a fair amount of Greenstuff I’ve reached this point:
The Baron Not-Harkonnen rising…
The lower section of his belly and the support pole will be covered in robes.
I cut the cable/tentacle section free from the upper bit, and reversed it to make a power module embedded into him.
Added a bunch of random cables and bits to fill it out.
And finally: W][P the Third
A new Femme Space Marine on the table – Sister Wrath:
Similar to Sister Sin, she will be made primarily from a female a Stormcast body.
So far I’ve just made her shoulder plate and her sword.
The sword is mixed-media – wire, brass, white metal, plastic part and styrene sheet – and built from scratch, since I broke the Warcry Cypher Lords blade I had brought with me for the task…
Thanks for looking!
