4.3.22 Sculpt update on Spraug, 1:18 scaled figure from the Dark Horse comic series Invasion. Added this guy back to the workbench to give it a little TLC and bring the project up to date, however the current 3 figures I've been working on will get the most of my attention.
Character recap - Spraug is a Vratix criminal on Nar Shaddaa during the Yuuzhan Vong war (Expanded Universe or Disney's Legends)....and that's about it. So suffice to say the character's back story wasn't the fuel that inspired me to sculpt a figure of him.
What inspired me is the design, the species and the challenge to produce a figure that isn't humanoid within the Star Wars universe.
The frame is a combination of two figures...An Original Trilogy Collection Chewbacca (two of them) and a Vintage Collection General Grevious (before the figure became so $$$). When this figure's frame was built, the Vintage Collection value was nominal. Nowhere NEAR the prices you see today. The figures were fodder.
I actually lost one of Spraug's antennae while the figure was shelved so I'm building a new one using a wire armature. This will also be used to sculpt the spindly fingers of the insectoid.
Really love sculpting the body's segmentation. The thick lower section or (tail) you see will be filed down and replaced with segmented detail. It's articulated at its base but will be used primarily for stabilization purposes.
Hope you enjoy the new shots. More updates coming! Thanks for all the comments and support! ❤ #starwars #spraug #darkhorsecomics #aliens #invasion #YuuzhanVong #expandeduniverse #sculpture #customactionfigure #actionfigures #avesclay #miniature
