Thanks Guys! There is a load more work to do but I feel like the paint job on Gutrot is finally coming together.
I'm working on a blog update over the weekend - I want to take some pics that demonstrate the materials & technique. Yes Gutrot will be based on a ship (or at least a part of one) - a rotting ship of course.

I can't find good enough words to do it justice. I'm with BoK, I would love to know how this is done.

Oh man, the possibilities!!! Of course, the wood should be just absolutely barnacle infested underneath the water line. Wood just rotted and chewed up so that one wonders how she is even seaworthy. If you had the bitz, a cannon could peek menacingly through a porthole. But better yet, on the prow there is a statue of some rotten Nurgle-thing chained crudely to the battering ram. Could truly stretch your basing skills to the max...get plenty of balsa...

Though I have some reservations with regards to such vibrant and crisp colours being used on this particular figure the application of those same said hues is nothing short of breathtaking. It truly does feel as if the piece has been ripped from an expensive illustration such is the smoothness of the blending: I really do feel that this is a work of art in the making.
I echo everyone else's sentiments with regards a nautical base, though perhaps the addition of some blubbery flesh oozing through broken planks beneath the water line as is alluded to in the Glottkin book would be an interesting addition.

I think I must be showing my old school roots and harkening back to the days when Chaos was very colourful! To be honest I'm quite surprised that so many people find the colours on this mini so bright. Once I'd decided on a nautical theme and to use an octopus as my main inspiration the colour palette felt like a natural choice. But then again bright is my default setting anyway:laugh:
Yes I really like the idea of 'blubbery flesh oozing through broken planks' and possibly some tentacles as well. I think the big challenge with the base will be get all the character & detail into it that I want without over powering the mini. I've a bit of a history of going OTT on a base and having to start over with something simpler.

I would use exclusively dark and cool colors on the ship's sides or anything on the exterior. Then on the floor of the ship have things warm up the closer you get to the mini.
