@Tex sorry for hijacking your thread with this childish banter… 🤭

I'm intrigued by the weapon shaft. It looks like you have waited until the putty has hardened before adding the woodgrain ? If so what do you use ?

First of all, i've found an incredibly easy way to make wood shafts identical to the originals: i apply a bit of putty around a needle/rod and roll it repeatedly on the handle of my cutter, finishing at an angle in order to create some irregularities in the pattern.
The first time i probably didn't apply too much pressure and in the end the grain was barely visible: some light passages with coarse sandpaper along the wood grain did the trick👌

Nearing completion💪

That is some proper sculpting there!

Always too kind. The pig helmet gave me some headaches in order to adapt the artwork that inspired it to the orc's head and - most of all - to get it almost symmetrical.
Better (not by much) pics will follow: only the second orc's halberd left to complete with blades and studs.

Always too kind.

I think almost always not kind enough, that is very very good.

I realise i haven't shown the inspiration artwork yet
I had to take some shortcuts in order to make it fit the orc's head,which should remain visible through the visor
Note to self: remember to add the snout ring🧠

 

[Brother Meredith]

Excellent inspiration!

 

[Fimm McCool]

Now that is.... a thing.
