Continued - WIP Kharn the betrayer & Pro-Stuff putty

So I managed to get a little more time in on Kharn.

But first i want to tell you about a small sculpting discovery I made yesterday.

You're probably thinking 'what am I looking at here? Well I'll tell you....    I call it Pro-Stuff, now I'm sure I'm not the first person to have done this, I'm yet to read anything online about it, but what this is... Yup! You guessed it!  Green stuff mixed with Procreate! And let me tell you its amazing!

By mixing the two putty's together you are left with a pale green putty similar in consistency to green stuff, but without the stickiness...  however still tacky enough to stick to your model without the need for glue.  Being that the Procreate is is not very sticky at all, mixing it with Green stuff leaves you with something perfect in my opinion.   The Pro-Stuff mixture also absorbs the other great qualities of both the Green stuff and Procreate. Its easier to smooth and polish, easier to work into gaps and still maintains that excellent elastic quality of the Green stuff.  I'm also happy to tell you that it also sands, files, drills and carves well once cured.





So anyway! back to Kharn!

Originally I had planned on using MK4 legs as I had on previous conversion as i felt the size and shape fit well. however after searching my bitz box for hours I came up short. So i set about sculpting my own.  worth noting this is really my first ever attempt at sculpting such a large area or armour, and certainly first real attempt at sculpting something from scratch.





I started with a wire frame coming out from under the knee pads and blobbed some putty over them to make the rough shape of legs and foot (unfortunately i forgot to take a picture of that, but if you look closely in this picture you will see the left boot (on the right of the picture... just FYI) is still at this stage and the right boot is just being started..









One thing i learnt whilst doing this was to know when to walk away, so I return to finish the left boot once the right had cured.

I also added the arrow detail to each leg, with a few studs to accent one. I'm undecided if i will do back and add trim to the leg armour or just leave as is...

I also thought i have a go at making my own Gore child as i wanted this Kharn to have something a little
meatier! Need to work out how to add the teeth, then I'll go back for the detail.



















Right that's all for now!
