A minor life update, although game related! Recently a game I've been doing dailies and occasionally playing, shutdown their servers and I also actually quit one mobile game. This was something I've been wanting to do to free up more time to do other things. I was also spending less time on some of my tablet games. However I succumbed and tried Mistplay, an app that rewards you for playing games... but only specific games. It's quick to earn points for playing some of the newest games

addicted to two games. This is not a good thing considering I'm occasionally tapping away at my phone on these two games during work hours in the office!

now was whether to glue the body to the legs now or later. As I didn't plan the plastic pieces to fit together, I need to resort to green stuff and then glue plastic pieces to stablise the two together. The problem comes when I want to paint it and want to do details in the hard to reach areas like the knee pads. So while pondering this decision, I made picked the base and gently glued the two set of feets. I also made the second claw and still forgot to take photos. Unlike the first, the lower three claws are similiar, in that I used the first as a template for the other two. My original was made independantly so were quite different. Also while waiting the reinforced arm to dry as it was loose, I started planning the rear and likely have the opportunity to make it slot in without having to glue directly onto the back.
The rod I decided to use for the cannon seemed too big to start with, but once completed looked small on the arm of this Ghaz. So I decided to make another slightly larger version. Although it was marginly larger, it was definately a better fit. It also meant that I wanted to re-do the legs too. As it was going to be easy to break the legs apart for a different pose, I decided to make another set, but this time with slightly thicker plastic card for the claws that made the feet look bigger. I also added bulkier knee pads and luckily maintained the same height as this model was getting too tall. Overall I was much more satisfied with the outcome.
I've only come to realise that I started the Ork face with a blob and then poked holes for the eyes and mouth... but I never had a nose! So although barely visible, I added a small bit of green stuff to make a nose protude from the face. I even attempted to do some fangs and teeth. I've not got around to checking all my other creations, but at least two of the three Ork Krew head's I made didn't have a nose. I also realised that after 11 years of not having an eye test and now with new glassess, I still try and sculpt these small things while wearing them when I probably be able to see better without them!
As I had three arches, I decided to make three Ghaz at the same time. It did making mixing the greenstuff easier rather than mixing just enough for a small single head. I ended up still having a small amount left over and couldn't even make a spare skull. So three Ghaz heads, each bigger than the previous.
