It's been far too long since I had anything to post pictures of. I've hardly had time to look at my painting desk for the last few months, but I've finally managed to find time to assemble my Trollblood models for Hordes. Of course, putting together multi-part figures "as they come" just doesn't quite feel right, so I got out the putty and tried to mix things up a bit...
I also had a chance to try sculpting some more details - pouches (cloth), armour (inorganic lines), muscles (organic curves), and building an axe head with runes carved into the guard. New putty makes a big difference, as it's much easier to work with. Sculpting during the day also helps... to get a smooth finish on surfaces like armour, you need to bevel the surface after about an hour. Any earlier and the putty is too sticky to get a smooth surface from; much later and the surface has cured. This is a problem when the "one hour mark" would normally occur around 3am.
