The Art of Using the Blunderbuss BRONZE- Ishkur Cinderhat
My model shows a rather classic chaos dwarf design, with big hat, scale armor, big nose and tusks. This is the first time I tried my hand on a large scale sculpt so I had to come up with an easy way to build a frame for the body, and I found this in... aluminum foil! Crumpled and pressed vaguely into the shape of a torso, I was then able to sculpt the body in thin layers of Fimo and green stuff over it. The metal parts are thin polystyrene sheets cut into shape and stuck onto the green stuff, the rivets are slices from a cured thin roll of green stuff. I like a pseudo-oriental approach to the style of Dawi Zharr tools and weapons, so I curved the handle of the axe similar to a scimitar. The whole thing was then based on a 50mm square Warhammer base. My favorite part of the model is the belt with the left hand on it, I think this part of the sculpt turned out best, though I will have to practice sculpting hands a lot more in the future as these are very tricky to do in my opinion. - Ishkur Cinderhat
