STARGATE done
Here are some pics of the finished stargate...
once active
Oh boy do I love modular terrain
And finally a zoom on the DHD, I sculpted all the 38 constelations and the point of origin on a 1penny coin which I then glued to a superglue lid cut at a 45 deg angle

Updates on the Harad wip
So first thing first a general army shot of my functional 700pts army based on stargate...
The Jaffa models counts as castellans of Umbar and they were produced by phoenix icons
below you can see some of my scenery wip too
Some older pics of my scenery
Next we will have the Stargate itself and of course the dhd.

Other finished Sculpts and conversions
So seeing as I have been going with the big Critters theme so far I may as well show you some of my other things...Enjoy :)
Kashalla the Dreadful.
so as you have probably guessed by now this used to be the WK's Fell Beast
I wanted to save money but wanted the Watcher, In the end I remembered I had got the (now oop) tentacles of ebay years ago so I knuckled down to a fun little challenge, took me a few days mostly because of backlog mind, enough rambling, to the point...
I present The Watcher in the Water
As you can see here i went for the more squid like abdomen, I just wish his crustatian claws and spikes didn't look so much like socks...
Any advice on that one?

Easy spare parts fell beast
Ok well it's about time i posted something here again so this time an old Work In Progress, long finished but documented tutorialy thing...
Materials used:
A couple of bits old hazel coppice (originally intended for arrow making)
A bit of pine wood
Some sturdy wire
Wood glue
Super glue
Milliput
Greenstuff
Spare balrog wings
A flying base
A spare metal witch king....
and now the pics
Note: i did not use that base in the end
so this is it just all glued up really, for wood use wood glue then superglue the other materials on
You can see by this point I have started on the chest of the beast, very fun stuff this was to make
First layer of webbing on the wings and if you look closely you can see the leg armatures have been glued
The beast begins to take shape
I forgot to take any pics for a bit so its basicaly done in the next pics
different angles...
Let's slap some paint on to it now

Sculpting the Mumakil
This a pic by pic breakdown of how I created my own scratch built war mumak for lotr sbg, bear in mind this is my second mumak, and i got all my measurements from the first one so here goes...
The Materials:
4 sticks(aprox. 2cm thick, 8to10cm long)
a block of pine, a fair bit of high density ply-wood, a twig(for the tail), a bamboo sushi board, a cork, some toothpicks, a full pack of standard milliput and some green stuff.
So i started by shaping the block of wood to the correct dimensions then i glue all the pieces together.
Bellow you can see the rag tag armature of the creature, at this point i had already sculpted most of one leg, but i remembered to take pics from there on.
And here's from the other side so you can see the leg joint on the left posterior limb.
and now on with the sculpting....
3 out of 4
some time later...
work on the face starts, the face is the top of a champagne cork with about 11 toothpicks as armatures for the tusks and trunk.
here's the other olliphunt for comparison
here we have some more neck detail and a better view of the head in progress...
and for giggles my finished first mumak with a full war band of Mahud with blowpipes
you may have by now noticed i am not going to make the side panniers, the reason is simple they annoyed me enough on the model i bought. anyway on with the head
I have always loved the brutality (and rules for that matter) of tusk weapons as such I'll gave her some, I also added the ropes and most of the facial detail at this point.
The busy Haradrim got working on the howdah at this point giving it some cloth
Some time later in Her full Glory.
And lets paint her up why not...
And here they both are together.
Oh by the way this project took me a bout a month to complete.
