Hi guys!
Our Jelly guessed it, my next project is a Mumak of Harad. It is a model kit produced by Games Workshop for their Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game. It is an impressive kit. I bought the kit way back and already startet on it, actually the Mumak itself is very far along. It is already assembeled and nearly painted. The assembly was quite intense for me, when I had as little experience as I had back then. The seamlines where killer because they run all around the body and down the legs front and back. The bad thing is, that the skin of that mumak is structured all over and you cannot just sand or so. I filled everything up with modelling putty, Magic Sculp or Milliput and resculpted the skinstructure. I probably would do things differently today but I am still quite pleased with the results. Now I need to assemble and paint the howda, the crew and the base. I probably will add a tuskweapon and go over and see if I can enhance the paintjob I already did, maybe some washes and some pigments. Right now the skin is to grey and a little shiny for my taste. But first things first, I need to go over my reference material. I don't aim for one particular mumak, for there where so many, so screen accuracy is not my goal, but rather that it fits in with the style of the movie. Oh... time to rewatch the movie ;D.

So, for the next update I promise some pictures.
Happy Painting, Sarah.
