Ollie Grimwood Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm attempting to scratch build a Rogue Idol for RAW17. Ive been sticking the photos on twitter but as with my Prophet it mean I've got quite a nice step by step so I thought I'd put them up here in one place Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Tomlin Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hey @Ollie Grimwood, Brilliant work so far, really impressed (and nothing like what I have planned for mine haha! ). What size base have you got it on? Do you have any plans for the face? I think I have a spare Morkanaut faceplate that might work as a mask? Keep up the good work!

HobbyHammer Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Love this! Agree with @Chris Tomlin about the faceplate, Morkanaut one would look ace, Also whats your plan for the hands and how big is this gonna be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Grimwood Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hey [mention=1837]Ollie Grimwood[/mention], Brilliant work so far, really impressed (and nothing like what I have planned for mine haha! [emoji14]). What size base have you got it on? Do you have any plans for the face? I think I have a spare Morkanaut faceplate that might work as a mask? Keep up the good work!Thanks bud, It's on a 160 base. I was thinking a Morkanaut faceplate and may be adding a few armour plates from the set to break up all the stone or I might go with a skull of some sort for a Bonesplitterz look, depends on if I can find anything suitable.

Chris Tomlin Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 @Ollie Grimwood - Cool sounds good. Is 160mm the Cabbage/Archaon one? If so that's what I'm using as well. Mine is just outright made out of a Gorkanaut, I've finally sourced the second klaw arm which had been eluding me for a while! Yeh it's a tough choice whether to go armour or bone/wood. I guess it depends on whether your army has more of an Ironjawz or Bonesplitterz vibe. Either would look cool tbh. I'll check to see if I have that Morkanaut faceplate for you tomorrow. If it's any good you can have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie Grimwood Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 @HobbyHammer thanks mate it's probably going to be 8" ish tall. I'm thinking club like hands which semi resemble clenched fists. @Chris Tomlin that's very good of you cheers. It's a cabbage sized base. The force I'm taking is half Ironjawz half Bonesplitterz which is where my indecision comes from. My Wurrgog Prophet does have a metal mask so I'll probably go that way. @Solaris thank you.

Cool, that seems the right size IMO. Perhaps we'll get to have an Idol-off at RAW!! You could do metal mask and bone armour (maybe some big skulls on the shoulders like the Megaboss model) or vice versa. It'll look cool whatever though.

Titcher Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 love that you are scratch building this. I can't wait to see the progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie Grimwood Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 To stop the foam melting away I put a couple of coats over slightly watered PVA on first however I didn't wait till it was totally dry and this happened That's what impatience will do to you. It'll mean starting the body again but I've got an idea in mind to make it bit more imposing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Tomlin Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 @Ollie Grimwood - Great work man. Well done for overcoming the adversity and persevering. It's good of you to share that as well so that others can potentially avoid the pitfall. Often larger scratch built projects like this will have some kind of misstep along the way, but it's about how you recover and move forward. For what it's worth, it's looking bigger and better this time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Grimwood Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks @Chris Tomlin I thought I best go with an Orrukish approach, if it doesn't work build it bigger next time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie Grimwood Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Went for two coats of PVA and waited till it dried out properly. Still felt like Swordmaker heat treating a blade. Glad it turned out ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzaangor Management Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Looking good. Bigger and better than the first time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Grimwood Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Going forward I'm going to add the mask and jaws from the Gorkanaught along with possibly armour plate from the same kit or depending on the GW skulls set maybe some skull shoulders/armour. Definitely going to add some ropes with trophies. Also considering some moss/lichen/grass growing on him, after all he is supposed to have been rampaging through the Jungle on his way to RAWSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Grimwood Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 I'm also going to put a Doomdiver in the raised arm which was a great idea from Mitzy (of RAW NEO fame). Which fits well as our Leviathans have a ranged attack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
