TeamLando's Cool Stuff: Tanith First and Only - Colm Corbec and Oan Mkoll figurines done

Yup. After many hours of work, these two are finally 100% done. The clay took its sweet time, but the paintjob and work on their bases was the hardest bit, a lot of stuff has been redone a couple of times, and all the small details, like the mud on their clothes, and chip damage on their gear, took a lot of hours to get right.

Anyways~. Gonna post some more WIP and detail pictures here later :)

Here's two pictures of the guys with the sides and back, and some details from other viewpoints.

These guys took alot of time, I haven't posted the WIPS yet, but here they are, some of them. They were built from scratch, using wire and tinfoil, alot fo Super Sculpey was used both the soft pink one and the firm grey one. After we baked them, we used some additional green stuff from GW to weld certain parts (such as the cloak, which was built and baked separately). We also used green stuff for sculpting the smallest details such as the Tanith Cap Badge, it was so damn small and Green stuff proved to be the best subtance for sculpting that one.

The cape's "skeleton"

Welding the Cape with Green stuff

The base was made from a "wooden lid" that we bought on our local woodwares store (Beir Bygg), it turned out to be perfect in size and weight, we then drilled and bolted the guys to the base carefully.

The earth on the base was created with the fine mix of putty, earth, sand and stones. It was applied to the base using a small wooden stick.

The screw inserted into the foot of the character, to can't tell here but it's a damn long screw, up to the knee or something I'd say.

The screws, with bolts, going trough the base. These guys won't fall over anytime soon.

The base, you can see the mix of putty and general earth,sand and stones.

Mkoll, just before being sprayed black.

We then sprayed the black, and then started painting, nothing much to say really, paint paint paint using standard techniques such as blending and washing with water mixed paint. We used Forge World's soot powder for sooting down all the metal, just like in the books.
