Mantic Frost Giant
Base Begun
A gorgeous model like this deserves an equally gorgeous base.
- I started by coating the whole thing in white, and dropping on some snow flock whilst it was still wet.
- I placed the giant on the base where I wanted him to stand and drew around his feet, so I know where to avoid with raised terrain.
- I built up the sides using torn off pieces of some kind of foamy stuff that one of the 3D printers had come packed in. As this is bumpy and porous, I also added a couple of layers of paper mache over the top, to ensure I’ll be able to paint it.
- I filled in any gaps with smaller stones, and threw down some coarser snow in the middle where he’ll be walking between the rocky banks. I’m planning on using some clear water effect to create like a frozen river he’s striding down.
