Enter the mammoth himself, Mr Stompy. The skorne gargantuan

Well, here we go again. the model of the week is the skorne gargantuan mammoth, also know as Mr stompy in my circle of friends. the lesson that I re-learned with this model is remember where all your smaller bits are before you start priming and painting. this project took me the better part of a week to finish and it looks amazing. all that is left is fixing all of the whoopsies and clear coating him

 From box to birth, this model is huge. the base alone is the size of a CD and the model stands half a foot tall

 Here is a view of the box standing inside my airbrushing enclosure. as you can see by looking at the brush sitting next to it, it is a fairly large box

 Here is the box that is inside the main box, I know a box inside a box. here is the main body and arms/legs

 here is the full kit inside its plastic containers. the box on the right contains all of the tassels and frills that you can put on the model. there are a ton of them and they can be a pain in the butt to glue on.

 Here is the main body laid out for assembly. the cannon pieces ended up assemble before this picture was snapped.

 here is the mid point on the painting the paint list will be included. as usual I used a full array of metallic paints and it looks wonderful

 Over the next few pictures you will see the different details that slowly come out

 Rear view of the mode, some details weren t picked up by the camera there are 11 "gemstones" down each side painted in metallic purple

 the chains are painted in sterling silver and the copper detail is in antique copper

 the boney details such as horns and nails are painted in territorial beige. the thing i dont like about the apple barrel paints and many of the craft grade paints I use is they take several coat to full coat the area. onthe flip side once you get then built up enogh(thins coats at a time) they look very good

 The areas that look like chain mail are painted in gunmetal grey and then were washed back a bit with Nuln Oil

 The base isnt finished yet (JB weld two part clay epoxy) the bits sticking out are parts from damaged models and spare bits Ive collected over time. the idea for the base is Mr stompy doesn't care and is too big to care. he'll run over his own people as much as the enemy

 heres another view to make sure everything is up to date
