Hi, guys !


After „the matriarch“-warg was almost finished, I‘ve decided to start to work on it‘s „lordling“, as well and post both together, later on.

The Base-figure is the 7“-SDCC-Azog, of course. Besides it‘s extremely „neutral“ facial expression, the
very limited head-articulation was bugging me.
When standing opose to the shorter Thorin-figure : kept starring straight forward instead of down. ...or riding the warg...staring on the warg‘s back, instead of straight forward. That needed to be improved.


Recipe :

Cut off the neck; hollowed it out and inserted the neck-swivel-joint, of a Gothmog-figure, to get more back ‚n forth-articulation, of the head, which peg-port, I‘ve also modified.

Cut off chin/ modified and resculpted face/mouth/teeth.
Dremeled off the backside of shins and resculpted it.
Cut off material from above the buckle/Belt and carved out the teeth above the buckle.
Remodeled the loincloth into hip-armor-plates with the dremel.
Reshaped shinguards and sculpted trimming on it.
Sculpt body-armor; loin-protector; shoulder armor; right hand-guard and fur, everywhere.
Cut the „swordblade“ from a 2mm-plastic-sheet.
(Sword-attachment : left a stump, of the original claw-weapon, about one inch long. Spliced it in half, inserted the new blade; additionally locked it in place, by driving a needle through everything and glued it together, before I‘ve sculpted over it)

Elongate spike, at left elbow, by inserting a bent needle and sculpt over it.
Cut off/ rearrange and sculpt spikes on right forearm-guard.
Cut slots into right hand and inserted spikes.
Dremeled down original loincloth and glued faux-leather onto it.

Both shoulder-armor are attached with a rubber-strip to the traps, so the armes can move freely still.

The paintjob had some new challenges. That armor has a quite unique tint, which was fun to experience on. It required a different layering, than the armor, I usually paint. To repaint the eyes was fun too, since they are super-tiny. I gave `em the original lightblue color; bigger pupils and rednesses on both sides.

Skin-tone :
Vallejo surface primer „grey“
Went with a mixture of :
Rakarth flesh
Flayed one flesh
Bugman‘s glow
Pallid Wych flesh
over it.

Scars : mixture of : white scar; bugman‘s glow and maccrage blue

Armor:
Imperial primer
Lead belcher
Stormhost Silver
White scar
U
Further colors :
Ulthuan grey
Rhinox hide
Hoeth blue
white scar
Agrax earthshade
Rhyza rust.

Sealed with Valejo matt varnish.

I hope you enjoy it !

CHEERS !
