A quick post of a model I have been working on for Duncan.
This is Tiny, a hardcore Blood Bowl supporter who follows whichever tram has the shiniest kit when he looks over.
Obviously he's a giant from GW, but Duncan converted him with the huge sign, made out of plasticard planks, distressed with a Dremel for woodgrain texture and then a layer of green stuff roughly flattened out for his sign.
The Beer-Hat was cobbled together with barrels, GW rope bits from the old Empire sprues and some stiff wire for the drinking straws.
I took the time to follow a skin tutorial off of eBay in order to get a bit more life to it, with a purple wash in there for Shadows rather hen using straight Fleshshade or such, it gives a different feel straight away.
As well as stippling the highlight colours on rather then drybrushing to get some more texture.
The tattoos started as freehand with Talassar Contrast Blue, and then stippled over with the main skin highlights to make them seem weathered and faded like real tattoos.
For the various rags which make up his trousers, I took various Empire trooper colours and some generic leather browns, and added in the blue-white stripes for some fun.
Washed down with Earthshade and layered back up messily to get a dirty, old feel to them.
So there he is.
The base and banner are purposely left blank, as Duncan can base him to match his team/giant army for AoS, and the banner can be added to when he settles on a design for it.
A fun project which was a good diversion from my main 40k grinds at the moment.
Until next time, have nice day...
