Carnival Wraithknight Progress

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!

      As 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

  7. Lollipops? Why no, my friend: what you're actually making is the strongest strongman of them all, and those are barbell weights, not Lollipops ;)

    (lookin good!)

  8. Hi, 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.

    1. Thanks Carl :)

      Using the talos body as a head is a great idea. It would be a perfect fit too I reckon
