Is there something inside the body like balled up tin foil? I’ve seen people do armatures and things, but nothing nearly as bulky like this.
Nah, the body is just Styrofoam melted with foam cutter/heat wand thing to shape.
Wow, I would not have guessed that as the material. I assume you have a lot around from being a terrain builder?
Yea I saved it all from a dresser I bought a while back. Slowly finding uses for all of it.
Looks awesome. I’ll try and look up old pictures of somebody who made rock golems out of foam- but maybe just the words give an idea.
If you plan on doing more beasties, amazon (and usually local art stores) sell unfinished wood rounds, which make for excellent, perfectly round bases on the cheap
Thank you, that does indeed give me an idea.
I’ve seen them at Michaels, might end up grabbing some.
Heck yeah, great job and thank you for sharing the pics of the build process
I typically print and paint minis so it’s really interesting seeing the scratch built side of things
Scratch and traditional skills together make for a really strong combo. I’ve saved or repurposed many imperfect prints with some creative physical work.
Thanks! Its actually my first scratch mini, but I’ve done a fair amount of terrain, including a few stalagmites, so this wasn’t too different from that. The tentacles or strands were made with a buddy’s 3d printing pen thing.
