In the fall of the year 2009 I decided to make a Trygon from scratch for a friend. That was around the time the 5th edition army release when this creature was first introduced in the Warhammer 40000 world.
My friend have just bought a Tyranid Carnifex and he had a lot of spare bitz so instead of making for him another Carnyfex I decided that a tail like creature will be easier to sculpt. At the end I only used a head from the Carnyfex in the model and maybe I could have skip that too.
The materials I used were:
- Wire
- Thin foil
- Green Stuff
- A+B White modelling putty
- Pieces of sprue
- Some Plasticcard
- A Champagne Cork
- Some cardboard for the base
The pictures of the process from the beginning to the end are below. Attention, there are quite a few.
Wow...now that is a scratchbuild! Thanks for sharing, that is amazing work.
ReplyDeleteDid the cardboard hold up well as a basing material?
Thanks. I've used cardboard in a lot of bases, it holds ok providing you don't drop water on it.
