Homemade Ulgurstasta pics

[Chris Salvato]

I wanted the climax of The champion's belt to be something memorable, and I definately wanted a Gargantuan-sized mini to be used for the ol' Ulgurstasta. But, seeing as there was nothing available to buy, I decided to get a little craqzy, and build my own:

It's a little skinnier than I wanted it, but I'm overall pleased with how it came out. It took me a little over an hour from start to finish.

It's sculpted on a wire-hanger wire bent into a rough S-shape. I bulked it out with crumpled aluminum foil, and then added layers of Sculpey on top to sculpt.

The claws are from Epic-scale GW Lictor models.

Commetns and suggestions are welcome!

OMG! This thing looks so cool! You are quite the artist!
I would love to have such a thing for my campaign, and I am trying it the way you did.
Is it possible to apply color to the model, if yes, what kind of color!

Looks great, can't wait to see "your Kyuss!" ;)

Thanks for the praise!

As for painting, the sculpey box says it will take acrylic (water-based) paints. I'll probably have it painted by someone more skilled than myself, but I do intend to give it a nice high-gloss finish as well for the full "slime" effect.

Be sure to add some real sand to the still wet paint, as it slithers through the arena!
And, say it - do you plan on building a Kyuss?

Excellent work, Chris. You make it sound easy enough to attempt myself. Thanks for the inspiration.
