A Game of Models 2013: Sculpting (I)

              Well, here we are at last, dont think that i forgot this project. At the start of this year i made a contest to pick up an artwork that i promised i will sculpt along this year, and the chosen one was a Nurgle Chaos warrior from the old "The Lost and the Damned" book. Up to July, i didn´t even built the basic armature. It was about time to start! And so, the creature began to rise...

Basic wire structure. Doesn´t need to be perfect

                     Here you can see my now typical little silver man. Again, it doesn´t have to be perfect (or cover all the wire thing), only to, well, have a little resemblance with your objective. Add glue if needed.

                    And now we add the liquid green stuff and we have... :

Swamp Thing! Wait, no...

                   At this point i realized my first (of maaaaaany) mistake: the right leg of the mini is in a wrong position. Thankfully, sawing green stuff and silver paper is reeeeeaaaally easy (another reason to use this technique!)

I can always say it´s a mutation...

                       Well, time for REALLY start sculpting. In this kind of minis, with a loto of armour, the fist thing to sculpt is... yes, that, the armour (Duh). No details, no complications, just he basic armour pieces:

There, metal pants!

                          You can see i started sawing the leg.. Still needs more work but i´m not worried ;)

Really basic armour on the Left leg

        
                 Aaaand... that´s all for now. Hope the next update will come soon... and hope you like what i´m doing, still basics but you can see several techniques and the overal shape of the... thing :P.

                    Ok, waiting for your questions/comments, hope you like this! See you soon!

                  Bueno, no era sin tiempo que comenzase a esculpir ya el diseño escogido en el concurso de minis de este año (voy con 6 meses de retraso... maldito termi... maldito Jake... XD). El caso es que las primeras fases son bastante parecidas a lo que ya visteis en anteriores post, figurincho con alambre cubierto de papel albal y... masilla verde líquida a tope de power. Lo bueno de hacer esto es que si te equivocas en alguna parte como yo con la pierna derecha del meco, puedes lijarlo sin mayor problema. En las fotos podéis ver que he empezado con al armadura (es la ventaja de los guerreros del caos, si tengo que esculpir músculos me muero del asco XDDDDDD). Sea como sea, espero vuestras dudas, comentarios y preguntas!

                 Nos vemos!!
