dont ussually make a Project wip blog when im sculpting or painting my tyranids
or other projects but this time everything is a bit diferent.

I have acepted, last year, my most challenging commission work so far,
a very old and hard to get Armourcast Eldar Phantom Titan,
one of the biggest fellas i have ever seen (about 36cm tall) and my job
is to cover him by sculpting details on it since he is
a bit lacking on that area.

One of the main problems is that he is so huge im going
to spend GS like crazy on this, also the resin is full of
big bubbles holes so the cleaning alone will take lots of time.
but im quite exited with this crazy project, it will be a slow project
due to its gigantic dimensions and hard one to pull off right
but i will have lots of fun doing it.

time for pics...
By the end of january of 2007 i received this

opened it and displayed on the floor ( note that the grey dot near
his head is a genestealer miniature and he is there for scale prespective)

I also been sculpting this for the last month and finnished both
shoulder pads and im currently on torso cleaning and detailing...
will take pictures in a few weeks.
Cheers

i knew it was going to be big but when i opened the box... lets just say i started to make the math for how many bricks of GS i would need... its very very big.

Hehehe, my brother had this one as well and it is pretty big. Can't say it's up modern standard with detail but for those days it's good. Can't wait to see what you'll do with it!:)

oh my, there's a chance, that somebody will make his comission job longer than me :D
Good luck with that!

Have you considered using other sculpting putties like magic sculp or milliput? They are much cheaper
