Let me be the first to post up my first stage of my first attempt:
The idea is to make a huge braineating cockroach with a fang to immobilize its prey (like a rhino beetle's top fang) and a long, slimey protuding nasal implement with a needle to suck out the brain. 8)

Nice...I think ;) :) Good start Rudy 8)
Sounds cool! I'm wondering whether to have a go at something myself!
I think you should Leon....

If I find a bit of time to have a go, I will. I've actually been making some terrain displays this weekend, pretty basic, but I'm quite proud of them!
I'm working on a daemon chariot and crew. I'm trying to get a flying chariot that is actually a daemon, with crew riding on the back. I've entered in the first two crew in the official entries thread. This is a third crew man holding the spear differently.

Like the other two crewmen, this one started with a wire armature anchored into a cork. I posed the figure with the armature. Then I used milliput to stiffen the armature because the thin wire is too 'bendy' to sculpt on. Then I finish details with green stuff.
Here are the start of two chariots.

As you can see, I'm covering the millipit with a layer of greenstuff to add the details. As I picture it, two crew will ride on the back of each of these 'chariots'.
That's looking really nice!
Looking damn fine !
If you find that using green stuff directly onto the wire is a bit tricky, you might find mixing ProCreate in with the green stuff (about 50/50) gives a much softer 'medium' to work with.....Sometimes almost TOO soft at this scale, to be fair.
Takes a bit of practice, but worth it after a few attempts.

Those look very nice indeed BlackEd 8)
Here's phase 2 - still not looking like much but it's coming :D

EDIT: Pic resized.
Thanks for the compliments! I hope I can get more sculpting time in this weekend.
Pruneau: Keep at it! It looks really interesting!
Looking good, Rudy.
I like the texture on the leg.
Nice!
Good stuff by now :)
