Mantic Frost Giant
Saturday's done and so is he
Today, despite the shop being pretty busy, I managed to finish the giant! It was a day of details and fiddly bits, such as his front panel and the snazzy bone and fur accessory on his back. I also completed the base, and left him overnight for the glue to dry. Hopefully he’ll still be upright in the morning. . .
For the base, I added texture with some grit over the rocks, and then painted it all in grey. Once dry, I drybrushed it in a lighter grey, followed by a white, and then added a little bit of snow flock in certain areas. I filled the riverbed with clear water effect to make it look like ice, and added a couple of frosty tufts to finish the whole thing off.
On the big boy himself, I picked out some more detail on the bones, painted his gauntlets, and his back piece and belt. I spent some time making sure things were as tidy as they could be, and then I called him done. Today’s session was fuleled by Coke and mint imperials, with a soundtrack of 90s Nu Metal.
