Hi, fellows !


I know, I know... last time I wrote, I’ll take a longer break, from making orcs, and consecrate myself to finish the gondorian soldiers. Actually, I’ve finished half of them yet, but I have to figure out a solution for the head-mount/necks of the other half, first.

I‘ve had that stripped down, lower body, from Gothmog lying around. Merged it with the upper body from a Mark Henry-figure, shortened the legs on upper thighs and shins, so that dude won’t get too tall. Filled all the slots, peg-holes and resculpted the pattern of the trousers and some straps.
Attached a heavily resculpted Kevin Thorne-head.
The shirt is made of linen. One sleeve is torn off, to give the figure a little bit more „dynamics“.
That black-ish netting-stuff, is something you‘d usually put in your kitchen-cabinets, to avoid scratches from pans, or pots.
The body-armor, the forearm-guard, as well as the helmet and the sword, is all sculpted from scratch.
The axe is a sculpted blade inserted into a wooden pole.
The back-armor is modified piece of a battle troll.
Some real metal chains attached with sculpy, to a leather-stripe on the chest and real leather for the cloth at the back of the helmet.
The bracelet is made of faux-leather. All clasps are sculpted.
The harness and the loin-cloth came from a dungeon of Isengard orc captain.
The furry shoulder-pad comes from a McFarllane Zeus.

Painted with citadel colors/sealed with Valejo matt varnish.

Regards !
