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.<\/p>\n

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]<\/p>\n

\"minotaur-10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I’m really looking forward to painting this and making it look like real moss and lichen covered stone.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
