On the workbench - Basing a monster like Glottkin

I guess I'm kind of cheating with a theme like the garden of nurgle as you'd expect I could glue any backyard detritus to a base and call it finished, but I did put a little effort in. Especially with the tree, as the citadel forest straight out of the box is unconvincing.





One neat trick I found was using PVA glue and superglue. They react with each other and form a tough wrinkled skin surface. It's nice and organic, making covering large areas much easier than using tones of greenstuff.



And then there is the invaluable instant mould. Heat it up, press onto a surface then run under cool water and save yourself hours of sculpting. Great stuff. 



A review has already been done on Chest of colors so I won't cover any more here.

  1. Love it, can't wait to see it all painted! I have the model to, but have just put it together, very daunting model to start painting.

    1. Hey thanks mate. Yeah it is. I'm seriously considering taking up airbrushing just for this guy... On that subject (see what I did there) awesome work on that chimera!

  2. I noticed there are some smaller, more pointed twigs on the tree - did you make them with dryad parts or in a different way?

    1. Yeah mostly dryad bits. Just makes it look more like a tree, the kit alone is pretty poor for anything other than table scenery.
