Over the past week I have been plugging away here and there on the Wraithknight and just wanted to post up my progress so far.
First up I have done some work on one of the arms (the sword one). I scraped off and sanded down all the gems and added a few spikes for good measure. Then the sword and hilt were removed in readiness for the bar to be drilled through. Once that was all complete I inserted the metal rod and glued on a set of wooden beads (with drilled holes). Previously these had been worked on with green stuff to make them round and fill any gaps. It prob does not look like it but they took an inordinate amount of time to do, as they were shaped, sanded, filled, sanded again, liquid green stuffed, sanded ect ect. The final stage was to wrap copper wire round the hilts to look like banding and voila, a spiky arm holding two ginormous lollipops :)
So for the main torso I have again removed most of the gems (and a slice of my finger while I was at it) for the more sleeker look. At the back I added a power pack and some chaos speakers with additional spikes. I have a lot more work to do to this, with cables and pipes ect coming out of it, but the main chassis is attached now, ready for the additions. I cut out a section of the mask rim to make it flat as the plan is to have a clown face projected in the visor (like my first talos). The halo on the top of the head is the start of his hair do, but fret not my friends, there is a lot more to do before it is remotely in its finished state.
What are your thoughts so far?
NafNaf out!
That is gonna be a fantastic centerpiece for the army - awesome work so far man, can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThanks dude :)
DeleteI hope it will be as impressive as it is in my head :D
Really wish I had your green stuff skills, that's what I think!
ReplyDelete:) thanks Nick. I still have a lot to learn tbh
DeleteLooking great. That bow tie is an awesome touch. Can't wait to see more progress.
ReplyDeleteCheers Thor :)
DeleteAs soon as I saw the bow tie I knew it would be awesome on one of my creations. I have to add a little more layers to it with gs but I like the look of it
Really liking the lollipop! I would love it if you gave this guy a creepy tu-tu that made him look like a member of the joker gang on acid :P
ReplyDeleteAmazing stuff as always dude
Thanks Rob :)
DeleteA lot of work went into the lollipop, so I am pleased you like it and it turned out ok :)
I just love the whimsical humor that goes through all your pieces. You don't just like looking at Nafnaf pieces, you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Greg, that is high praise indeed! Some people just think I am mad so I am dead chuffed you get the humour in my work :
DeleteThis is going to be great and the final force is going to be jaw dropping.
ReplyDeleteCool, thanks aruki :)
DeleteLollipops? Why no, my friend: what you're actually making is the strongest strongman of them all, and those are barbell weights, not Lollipops ;)
ReplyDelete(lookin good!)
Lol, he will certainly need a few muscles to be carrying those around :)
DeleteHi, loving all the work. I converted my elder by using dark elder bits etc, and I used the body of the talks/cronos as the head of my wraith knight.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carl :)
DeleteUsing the talos body as a head is a great idea. It would be a perfect fit too I reckon
