Giant Post 4. BSC post 5.

 Can't show anything on BSC because it is painted and ready to submit.  

However, I have managed some work on the Giant.  

 Still has lots of work to be done.  Vest and trousers are the next things on the list.  After that the club, then on to details.  

Giant Post 3 and BSC 2026 Post 4

 Zenith primed both.  Just checking for blemishes that show up on the primer before fixing and moving onto painting. 

 

Giant post 2 and BSC2026 post 3

First off is what I have done with the giant.  Finished cleanup and added the pouch and treasure trousers hanging off his belt.  I removed the hook off the pouch and pinned it in place in two spots.  Then used UV resin around the base to give it more support.  A bit of green stuff was added for a strap on the belt and corresponding strap on the pouch.  The treasure trousers (when you hold the piece upside down it makes sense) had the integeral ring and hook removed and replaced with a new steel ring and hook.  The end of the hook is the first pin point for the piece.  I also hid a second pin on the backside of the trousers to secure it in place.  Again UV resin was used for extra support where it touches and is close to the body.  

 I added an Easter Egg on the base with a 3d printed Tortoises attacking his foot. 

Here is a scale shot with a miniature on a 25mm base.

Added details and controls to the supports for the telescope.  Just needs some gap filling and I can prime. 

 

 

 

Its a Giant

 For years I loved the Otherworld Miniatures Giant as he had a lot of character.  The molds were sold on and it is now produced by Crooked Dice.  I finally pulled the trigger and picked one up.  I knew that with this model there would be some small issues.  First and foremost is with how the right hand attaches.  It is a straight cut that would crack easily.  I don't see how they could have done it any other way but it is a weak point.  You can clearly see it on the photo from their studio model.  It looks like they had to do a repair during the shoot.    

 I decided to tackle it by notching the fault-line on both sides, filling the cracks with putty and then sanding smooth.  Hopefully the notching will give the putty more surface area to adhere to and stop cracks from following the natural fault-line.  

 Here is where I have stopped so far on the whole model. 

There is also a pretty big crack on the back of his trousers.  Since this one is not such a small connection I filled it normally and sanded smooth.  

 I still have some cleanup to do and have not decided what accessories I want added to his belt.
