I\'m in pieces....
Evening folks!
thanks for the ideas and encouragement... Sorry \'bout the lack of progress, works been a real \'mare and seriously eating into my (already limited) free time. Also had to take a trip back to the U.K. mainland for a funeral :-( and have family staying at the minute... As such progress has been slooooow.
Anyway, enough moaning!
After much chopping, grinding and sanding, this is the current state of play. Quite a way to go yet before I start rebuilding the poor fellow!
The figure is a bit of a \"fudge\" in parts, for instance the right thigh is a different size, shape and profile to the left (even without me chopping great chunks from it!). As such it needs material adding to the top, the angle changing at the bottom (though the front to rear taper on the left thigh needs to be made more mild by adding material at the rear). And it needs bulking out, altering the profile to more of a \"O\" rather than the current \"0\". Anyway, enough words!
As for the finish, he\'ll be turned over to the ruinous powers. Khorne was doing a good job of whispering in his ear for a while there, but in the end Nurgle managed to claim his immortal soul... Planning on more of a rusted, pitted and decayed look rather than the typical nurgly boils, warts and tentacles... but as they say, that\'s the plan, everything subject to change!
I\'m off back to the U.K. for a family re-union at the weekend so I\'ll hopefully update towards the end of next week!
Laters all!

Just saw you post. I am great fan of this model and have had an interesting time chopping it up once. I have completely re engineered the arms and made silicone moulds to reproduce them. I am currently working on sorting the legs out and am coming up against the same thigh problem as you. Here are some shots. Hope your project is going well.
