Ooh, I like the Space Wyrm!  Very Cthulhu! 

If your monster guy had a hook on the end of his nub, could we call him a Hook Horror?  Seriously, it's looking very good.  Are one of his legs smaller than the other?  Just curious if this was a warp-spawn design thingy (i.e., artistic preference)?

Yes, he is supposed to look like 1/2 of his body had accelerated growth. When the arms and head are done it should be clear. His neck is also going to be thicker on one side and stretch out the face. Tubes in the flesh, etc, still have to be added.  ;) As for arms, he is holding a fence post with concrete on the end like a mace.  :o

No, but thanks for showing it off. Gave me some great ideas.  :o

I emailed them if it did not sell I'd try and help them make casts of it. At 52mm not sure how many will sell but people might like to use it for something.

Ahh, his mutation is becoming more and more apparent!  I like it!  It's like watching Frankenstein's Monster being created one limb at a time.  Just watch out for those Abby Normal brains!

That's one HUGE codpiece, my friend!

It's supposed to be a holstered weapon but I A) either need to figure a way to put  a handle on it, or B) need to redo it.  :-\

That figure is sweet...in a very disturbing and warped way!   

Very well done.   Keep on showing us the progress, as it it nice to see how a figure gets from pile of green stuff to finished form.

I did not quite like the face, not good enough, so cut it off to make this.

Teeth will be a little more fang like, almost orcish. Then the neck is going to be more muscle and striated than wiggley. The flesh was just not quite right.

That said my next one is going to be a massive mound of pure muscle and bone with a tiny head. Imagine the bad mutant from the last hulk movie.  8)

The real question is how do you hire trolls to run the forges?  Do you pay by the hour?  Are they union?

Seriously though-that thing is coming along great-is that procreate you are using?

 :D The trolls are not smart enough to become union!

I am using 3 different putties from time to time, green stuff, brown stuff, and apoxie sculpt. The white stuff is plastic card. I'll sculpt details for the bullets over those. Here is some more work on him. The implants will have tubes and such running from them feeding muscles with the drugs that were being implanted before he escaped. Thus the 1/2 transformation.

A little more work. I'm trying hard to get my demon finished up so I've been slacking on this guy a bit.
