Yakface had a few concerns about the positioning of the top vent, and the angle of the flesh hooks, so they got a little tweaking, and the first hook got some green stuff.
Also started adding the veins to the back of the head.
The gaps under the vents are only rough filled at the moment. They’ll be smoothed down and filled properly next.
Here’s a comparison shot with the vents before and after moving them:
The flesh hooks are still a little ‘bladey’ rather than ‘hookey’ so I’ll shave down the insides of the blades a little to make them a little more curved.
Very early work on the base:
I’ll be adding in some rocks, and a nice skid-trail where the dreadnought arm has slid along the grounb for a bit after being torn off.
Started the putty work on the wing.
I had originally intended to just do the outermost vane as a scyth blade at first, to see how that looked before deciding if the others should be done the same. But once I got the forearm puttied up, the existing wing vanes just looked wrong.
So I started on the scyth-vanes as well. Still need to do the outer one, and fill in where they meet the hand.
