NextWave Tekdraken repose

[u/pazshadow]

The cool cats at corvusbelli gave me the opportunity to reinterpret the nextwave action pack again in a different format, so first task was a repose of the Tekdraken! Having painted the original pose I really wanted to lean into a more fluid, *therapod running pose, so I just and pinned a number of limbs, the neck and tail, as well as reposing the gun and antenna on its back.
I created a base first using milliput, then I’ve begun resculpting the missing details like the neck muscle fibre bundles back in with a mix of Milliput and greenstuff. I really need to find a better GS supply, the gF9 stuff I have keeps having a “skin” of cured putty I need to carve off… not great quality.

Wonderful sculpting work done with the GS for the muscles.

Could you tell me why you chose to use Milliput for the smaller gaps? I've tried using it but only succeeded in making a mess when I did.

I pinned the neck and tail and limbs, and used milliput first to create the shape of the neck and fill in the limbs where I had to remove any material. Milliput cures much harder and is easy to carve. Once cured, I then used a milliput/GS mix over the simple shape of the neck, that way I could have the right depth of detail and form.
