Scratch built Vermin Lord

[Paandrik]

Yesterday I started with my own vermin lord from scratch, and this is how far I have come...

References: Skaven army book, Google (bodybuilders, Horses)

The pose is from the skaven army book (what a surprise) For the moment I'm building some muscles but they feel to defined... maybe its a good thing, I have no Idea ... just in case, is there a good way to smooth it out?



Next time, the other side! Same tread, same Mad Sculptor! Don't miss it!

Well, "Too defined" seems to be what GW is all about for the moment so it might just fit in perfectly.
Otherwise, roll up a really(and I mean -really-) thin string of greenstuff, place it in the crevices and with a very wet/oiled finger, press hard and just plainly rub the definition away. Be careful to keep your finger really lubricated and make sure to make continuous motions, if you stop or change directions while on the soft greenstuff you will get fingerprints on it and they can be troublesome to remove sometimes.

Looking sweet this far!

New Skaven update! (long overdue)
Legs and body muscles complete, some tuning are needed of some of the muscles like the right back muscle.

I don't like the look of the old skavens so I'm trying to "renew" them, and one of them is the ratling gun here, is not done yet but you get to overall look.
Are also "renewing" plague monks by giving them some stomach, reposition the tail and giving them longer robes....
But I don't think I can do anything with the rat ogres, they have to live with the arm "plug-in" look , wished that they updated them already.

First post for the new year!
Arm muscles and tail (somewhat) complete, only some small finishing touches left.
Only thing left now is the dreaded 4H. Head, Hands, Horns, Hooves. ok the hooves might not be that dreaded but its sounds cooler with 4H's ;9.
The only concern for me now is the horns, since its so small, its going to be difficult. Hopefully I'm dead wrong and its a cakewalk (yea right).
