The Frost Giant Finale

A short post tonight. 
Well, I've finally decided the Giant is finished. Once again it's more like abandoning it that finishing it because I feel I could keep tinkering with it. :-P
Anyway, I added some Z scale spruce trees and some snow. Thanks for looking.

The Frost Giant (part 3)

This time around I was tackling the base. But first I had to cut off the base the Giant already had. Easier said than done. I took a fine saw and it just wasn't making a dent. So finally I got my sprue cutters and went at it - 

 Once he was off the plastic disk. I chose one of the numerous water "bowls" that I have hanging around from my spider enclosures. I filled it with Celluclay, and once dry Put a layer of Aves over the top. From there I  took some loosely wadded up tin foil and  made some suggestion of ground work.  Then I pushed the Giant and some Z scale spruce trees into the Aves.

As I'm painting a 3rd highlight I say to myself "If he's a Frost Giant, why is he so tanned?" So I broke out new colors and am calling the figure done with this rendition - - 

The base is next. Thanks for looking.

Blood Rage's Frost Giant

The Frost Giant is one of a set of about a gazillion figures from the Blood Rage game's Kickstarter (see thew Acquisitions link  below for the story). Starting off with a primer, I once again fell into the trap of looking and not finding seams - 

You may have seen this before, as he was 1/3 of set that I recently published in a New Acquisitions post. From here, and the fact that he was from a Viking Game (singing the lyrics to Led Zep's Immigrant Song in my head right now) and decided since he's from the Land of Ice and Snow, he has to give an appearance of cold. So what I did was add a little blue to the colors I used. 

Here he is as of last night. Getting back to the seams - once I started painting the figure - yep, I started to see them. Sigh. I took off what I could, but I have to admit I left a few. Looking at the other Giants, this one was the worst for seams. The rest should cause less headaches. 
Anyway, the hair and rock are finished, but the skin only has a base coat on it. I took the next two pic before giving it a shot of Dull Cote and calling it a night. Thanks for looking.
