60mm Hammer-man sculpt "finished"

So I'm calling it a day with this sculpt. Class starts again in the morning and I would like to move this along to the painting stages!

Changes since the last post: I have widened the grip as much as it would allow without a re-sculpt of the arms. I also shorted the haft of the hammer. To the head of the hammer, I wrapped in "string" to finish it after I took a blade and literally tore chunks out, to give a pocked finish. The uneven and jagged finish to the wounded greenstuff will hopefully give a nice texture for painting. Hard to tell at this point, but sure like you never know do you.

The lower knee was thickened up a bit, added rear loin cloth and to finish it a pelt across the shoulders with a twin metal disk and double link chain to hold in place. I had originally planned to have a shield, but was rightly pointed out to me that... that it didn't make sense. So I dropped it, kept the WIP shield for a later project.

Decided to leave him bald altogether and that's the end. This is very much an experimental piece, a learn as you go job, and the paint job will be much the same... I hope to paint some tattoos and some head stubble.

On wards!!

60mm Hammer wielder In Progress

Since the last update, Christmas, my Birthday and New Years have happened, as well as the last of my finals and submission of final bits of CA for the semester. I have gotten some time this week, between reading a Birthday gift of the final Wheel of Time book, to work on this chap.

I've done the majority of the legs now, all that is missing is the rest of the loin cloth at the back. I gave him a bit of a start of one... Looks kind of like a thong at the moment. Something like the front will go on the back... but this "thong" is really only for the benefit of those few who would look "behind the curtain" to see the "wizard". You know who you are!

Following that, the to-do list is as follows:

• Finish the hammer
• attach a shield to his back, which I'm working on separately, but not sure I'm happy with so I haven't put on here just yet.
• Necklace of fangs or something
• Hair! and Ears!
• Put him on a base, and paint the blighter!

Thats all for now, more anon.
