My first ever greenstuff sculpt..(updated 16th Oct)

Added a lot more fur now and am re-working the feet at the moment. The kinda spiky things on its arm is kinda to suggest the "Ice-pelt" of its name. I am also thinking of giving it some sort of helmet type thing to justify the av value (9) What's your opinions?

Oh yeah, the feet are a major headache - the last ones I did - my friend pointed out they looked very bird-like and I agreed, so - out with the x-acto and off with the feet...again!

As always, comments/advice are very welcome.

Absolutely stunning work.

How did you sculpt the fine detail like the teeth and fingernail? Looks perfect to me.
Tried it once on my Touchdown-Gobbo and It nearly killed me.

Completely fantastic Ewan! He's coming along so well!

Very very cool.

I think honestly that showing this to JJ when you are done cannot hurt.

If you get it cast (heck I could help with that as well) (if no one is in a hurry), I'd like to have 2 as well ... biggest thing I'm not sure of is how easy it would be to cast as a single piece miniature.

Amazing work. I'm can't wait to see your future work once this one is done. You're only going to to get better and that's a scary thought. Good but scary.

One thing that bugs me is that little disk on the back. Should be bigger. Maybe with the rought hammered/dented texture.

I wouldn't worry about the av9 look. The current Morg barely has any armour on him.

why not ask heresy to cast it as a deathbowl fig?

you could if you wanted... to keep the extra hands/heads etc as extra if you get them cast!
There is such a good initial response you could make some money out of it too, and lead to bigger and better things! As an exoerienced BB player, you know what the public want, and thats a great thing to have on your arsenal!

PS: I am liking the hand, the attention to detail is astounding, I could only ever dream of doing that kind of work! I honestly wish I had an ounce of your talent, dont let it go to waste!

amazing work mate, i'd like to put my hand(s) up for one or two of these beauties! i think casting this could make you some Â£Â£Â£. love the 'finished' hand realy like the frozen pelt spikes. get that mini finished and cast pronto!

Looking awesome so far, I would definately buy this if it was cast up.

@ Bonehead - I kinda made really small pointed "sausages" of greenstuff, then carefully moulded the fingertips to take them then used the blunt end of the GW sculpting tool to make the shape look correct. The teeth were the same technique but a different shape to the greenstuff - It is easier to show than explain. The big problem for me just now is chains

- They just don't look right!

I have to keep peeling them off and starting again.

@Galak - It is looking like it will have to be in a couple of parts - Andy (Heresy) says it has a few "undercuts" that will ruin the mold unless it gets cast in sections

On the plus side - I have just ordered some stuff from Andy @ Heresy. At last, a variety of sculpting tools

- The GW one has been good so far but it is limited where it can reach (hence the invisible left hand he has at the moment..

) So hopefully, I can develop the details a little more now.
