The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

The Saga of Uncooperative Pants

I have been fighting myself as hard as I can on this. My urge to shift to a different project is strong, but I really want to get something done, too, so I'm trying to force myself to drive on through this a bit more. I've tweaked and modified a lot of little things, so I thought I'd share.

Changes: I've dremelled the grot bomb just a tiny bit to sit closer to the body. I'm happy with where it is right now, I think. I also finished the glyph and added wings onto the bomb for a little extra steerage. An afterburner exhaust was capped onto the end of the rokkit, as well. Ork glyphs were added to his legs as shin armor. I've tried sculpting pants a number of times, but I just can't seem to get anything I'm happy with, as I keep pulling the sculpting off. I've just put a new layer of brownstuff on around the hip area that you can see in the photos - once that dries, I'll try sculpting the pants over that and see how it goes again. I don't know if I want the pants to be tattered around the upper leg or simply short-cut - Zagstruk seems like the kind of Blood Axe who would take care of his clothes, though.

 

I need to add the harness to hold the rokkit onto his back, but I can't think of anything I'd be happy with. Emulating the Stormboy Nob detail is one thing, but I don't want to put the harness sitting that high - it would cover the 'teeth' on the grot bomb up. I need something slightly lower-slung. I'm considering ditching the metal support brace appearance for something that relies a lot more on straps to harness the grot bomb to him, though I haven't entirely thought it through yet. I'm waiting for a good idea or two to hit me.
