Colossal Squig and Giant Squig Painting

Colossal and Giant Squig Painting
 

Hello again and I just wanted to post a finished picture of my three squigs.  I primed these guys black and work up a basecoat with several layers.  First I do a heavy drybrush, Blood Red/Sandstone/desert yellow), then a Black Wash(secret weapon miniature but any black wash could work).  Next I do another heavy drybrush followed by a brown wash(maybe GW's Mud color or Agrax Earthshade).  I then do another drybrush of the same color.  After that I then highlight all the high spots with a solid color of the same tone.  After these layers I start doing 50/50 mixes with the basecoat and white or a off white color line bone white.  I followed all the same steps with teeth, and mushrooms.  Teeth starting with Kehmri brown, bleached bone and then skull white.  The mushrooms are coated with several layers, not highlighted and then just white dots added.  Pictures below.

Orcs being eaten! Oh I see you there!

Collosal Squig and Giant Squig Modeling

Colossal and Giant Squig Tutorial

Purchased some squigs awhile ago, over 2 years ago, and finally started getting around back to them.  I just wanted to make a couple posts on here to any gamer out there.  First, after un-packaging your miniature clean your models.  I have here pictured several squigs made from finecast, but the same applies to any model(resin, rubber, finecrap).  I used soap and water and scrubbed each model for about 20 min each, let dry, and then assemble/green stuff. 



 Here I have pinned each large joint twice with 1/16 inch copper wire.  Then used copper wire for all add ons to the top of the squigs (horns and mushrooms).  Holes for the wire are drilled about 1/4 inch deep. 


The last picture here is before when all the horns and mushrooms were completed.  Typical 2 part green stuff was used for everything.  Bases are 40mm bases with 1/2" cork glued to the top.  all joints were glued with medium bond super glue and tightbond III was used for all basing material.
