Ral Partha Frost Giant 01-042

[Fencig 1112]

My first serious attempt with blending/shading on Blues, first basing with Snow,  and my 3rd post in my "classic Metal Giants" Series. The snow is a home made mix of baking soda, White glue, White paint, and some hard White foam run through a coffee grinder.

 

You Struggle for what seems like hours thru waste deep snow. Nearing exhaustion , you finally enter an area leeward of the Mountain where the snow is shallow. Your relief quickly turns to an unpleasant surprise as a pair of  red eyes and a low Growl greet you . A single Warg stands next to a pillar of blue Ice.

 

         Your surprise turns to horror as the pillar moves. An enormous Frost Giant roars his disapproval at your presence and lunges at your party.

 

      Couple of notes on the model. This figure is 2 piece and is typically posed with the torso and lower body parallel, which IMO gives an odd " Oooofff, just got punched in the stomach " kind of look. Also, there's a rather large gap at the waist.

 

A slight rotation and some sculpting putty for the missing row of scale mail and i think it looks a lot more natural

 

   Good match for the bones Reaper Warg size wise

 

 

      cheers

On a more serious note:

 

Really nice work on the frost wolf. I still remember getting tabled by these fellows in Baldur's Gate.

 

I like the skin of the frost giant, seems to be the perfect tone and the TMM is well done with enough depth to the scales.

Good work on both the painting and the sculpting!
