Working on stegadons base, not much to look at... Somebody know a better material to work with than my "hardpaperwoodthing" for my stones?

 

Cork. It's perfect for the job, flexible, cheap and can be cut to have sharp edges or teared apart to get a nice rocky texture. It is also easily glued with PVA although a hot glue gun would attach it faster.
Where did you get that skull for the base, it looks like from one of those GW's basing kits, but I don't know which.

 

Cork is great to work with and gives great results. Great faces on the Choas characters too.

 

Alright! Thanks. Where do you buy cork? Regular hobby store?

The horse skull is from one of the GW's basing kits. And its awesome!!!

 

You can find cork of different thicknesses in any building store, as it is used as sealant sometimes or as "filler" between other two materials for its rubbery feel. That means that it's super cheap, and maybe you can get 1 meter squared for maybe 2~3€

 

Here is a link to Amazon selling an Ikea product. These are what I use.

... Or that

 

Waow!!! Guys! Thanks! It looks incredible. Im from Sweden so IKEA next door ^^ thanks!!

 

Then you should have known this already!

 

Haha

thats true. But when the truth is right in front of our eyes, your eyes can deceive you. ^^

 

Something to enjoy!
Nah... Not done yet, im always dropping this one on the floor so im really frustrated at this model and just want to be done with it. Sorry further fastpainting stuff:-/

 

Looks good! I really like the horns on the side of the castle, where did you get them from? Did you glue the castle to the stegadon before painting?

 

Th

the horns is from the same kit, instead of gluing them on the engine of gods i glued them at the sides.
No i have not yet glued the "castle" on the steg;-) big parts, feel its better to paint them seperatly

 

Yeah that´s why I asked, because I find it more confortable to leave it off

 

InProgress picture just for you guys;-)
Some shading, some highlighting and some parts left to paint.
I can tell you that i both love and hate this model.
Enjoy!

 

Well it's turning out fantastic... in the end I'm sure you will love it.

 

Love your stegadon, but I am really curious to see where you go with that WIP slann priest

 

Looks really nice, I specially like the red markings and paintings on the engine of the gods (the side heads look like having lips stick )
I also like the fact that you put some skinks on the base of the stegadon.
Just to tell you, your sinks are missing the pupils

 

Thanks! Yeah i had a hard time figuring out how to do with the "engine" and didnt want to make it just gold... Lipstick is just awesome;-) i dont know if i want to do the pupils, they look more alien without and i want them kind of alienish
And i havent glued the skinks on yet so they are not actually standing on the base ^^ will give it a thought if you think that is cool;-)

 

Agreed the red lines is cool! Really makes it look unique.
