question for Techno

I really like that "spider troll"!

So one of the guys on the oldhammer page is not convinced it's your sculpt, but says it's very much alike.

This one has your name on it on the collecting citadel miniatures page,stating it was unreleased 'the same one from Oldenbua's post):



Still very similar to the one i asked about:





Soooooo did you do both of those?

[Techno]

Top one....definitely made while I was at GW, Peter.....I used to have all the masters....(Now given away or sold.)

Bottom one.....99.9% certain that was the first figure I made for Alternative Armies. (And therefore my first 'commercial' figure.).....

Thanks phil!

Still think they look good in a unit!

[Techno]

Hmmmm.

I love some of those really odd ones with random hook/claw/spiky appendages all over them.

I liked making that sort of thing to start with......Basically because I didn't have to worry about making the figure 'symmetrical'.

When I was starting out on 25-30mm figures, I found it quite difficult to make two arms and two legs that looked 'right', and appeared to belong to the same figure.
One arm, or leg, would always look noticeably shorter or longer than the other and need re-doing. 

Doing 'chaotic' figures......You didn't have to worry about that sort of thing.......

Opinions are divided about this one at the oldhammer page, some people hate it, and some people like it. It's about 50-50.

I think you have to look at at the time it was made. You can't compare it to a 3D sculpted model from today. Some people forget that.

Add my vote to the 'hate' section, Peter !

Add my vote to the 'hate' section, Peter !

No need to hate Phil! Everybody's got to start somewhere! I bet my first attempts will come out much worse!
