In Progress » Shadow of the Minotaur » Castle Walls and Megaliths

Two updates in a day? Weird. Here’s what I managed to accomplish today thus depleting my Sculpy supply. Will have to get more on Sunday when my 40% off Michael’s coupons are valid. I’ll need at least one more box of Super Sculpy, but will get two to be safe. I took an image of my mix though. One half of a package of black Sculpy III and 1/4 box (one slab) of Super Sculpy.

As you can see I’ve continued roughing out the stone “muscle” plates. I want it to have a movable look and not be just a solid rock. I never understoon how the sci-fi/horror statues could move. That’d require some very flexible stone. [/geek]

I also started adding the castle wall details. I want it to look as if it was formed from whatever stone and rubble was nearby. The small half-round platform on top will be where the pilot stands in a chariot-like enclosure. There will be another turret-like platform on the left shoulder which I roughed out with wire mesh and cardboard. Various megaliths form the spiney spikes.

I’m really looking forward to painting this and making it look like real moss and lichen covered stone.
