Scratch-built Hill Giant
I scratch-sculpted this figure over a chassis built from a Reaper Bones ogre and he's meant to be part of a group with the Otherworld one. The Bones material is easy to cut, and so it was easy to quarter and reassemble the limbs from the ogre to make the trunk for this giant. But despite saving me having to sculpt the hands and feet I wish I had just gone all out and sculpted the thing entirely. The ogre sculpt had really poor proportions (one leg considerably taller than the other and some other wonkiness) and the Bones material is overly soft (even compared with other PVC figures like D&D prepaints) and poorly suited to hold detail or take paint. Had I done it entirely in greenstuff maybe I could have shopped it around and got it cast. Maybe next time. Sculpted in 2013-2014 and painted in 2014.
