Re: Greenstuffing cloaks?

Nothing cunning I'm afraid. Just put in the greenstuff sausage and poke it with a sculpting tool until it looks like fur.

Thanks mate. As I said, all criticism is welcome! I appologise for the 'true scale' rant! I think I'll keep the heads the same size. They will be in stone, not metal, another justification for making them so large maybe! I will probably purchase a razor saw on the way home. Cut the handles down a li...

So I've put the bad boy together. Rejected the idea of putting armour on the legs. It just didn't look right.

A UK company. Adhesive Dispensing Limited. The nozzles were cheap enough. £6 for the sample pack. But with postage and VAT it came to £15! with some which are just too small to use.

So I have done some more on the Troll. It's quite addictive! Sadly its slow progress as I'm learning as I go.

Sorry, couldn't resist. So, a second Troll unit needs to be different. So hammers and some armour I think. Still in keeping with the Darklands look and trying to mimic Allan Carrasco's fantastic style as much as an amateur can! http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b590/AndySpeirs/IMG-20140108-00243_z...
