Ork Gargant. Da Head

Gargant time again! We're coming from this post about a month ago, where I had left the main body done. I thought the head would be quite the next natural step, so little else to say. Let's go for the head!

Just a close-up of the thing primed

 I started from the inside, as I thought it would be easier. Following my tradition of being lazy keeping things simple, I sprayed the interior with a metal primer

Cozy!

Then I applied some more colour:

I miss a couch or something, but it will do

Well, then the outside. Since the beginning I had clear in my mind the head must be green.

Basic dark green layer and Agrax all over

Let's focus on the lower part first. I used a couple of tones of green and combined them at will. I really didn't want to give a very clean impression

It will look better at table distance

I toyed with different ideas for the jaw, but in the end I deemed the checkers would be the right choice

That was, of course, before I realised I would have to highlight the whole damn thing :S

Enough cabin for a while. It was the time to move on something else. The crew, for example.

I couldn't make more minis fit into the cabin, I promise

I think I should have greenstuffed the Gretchins so they wouldn't look so... modern. I mean, the sharp edges, the nose, the ears, you know, that kind of stuff. But in the end I was too lazy, so I just painted them:

At first I also considered using two Mekboyz, but this way you can certainly tell who's the boss here

 This is how they look when in place:

Unward, ya Grots!

Fasta! Moar dakka!

After the break I felt strong enough to keep on painting little checkers again:

C'mon, the eyes were asking for it, you know

So was the turret!

Giving the turret a smooth looking was tricky (well, at least for me!), but red happened to be a nice colour to work with for this purpose.

So thi is the finished head:

Behold the face of Mork

Ant that tiny face on da rear too

This is the Gargant so far:

Behold da powa of Mork and despair! (behold da powa of Gork too, just in case)

I have to say that this begins to be rewarding. Seeing it grow part by part is meaning truly something for me. The beginning was hard indeed, but I think it begins to look like something, and that's encouraging.

I'm taking a break (not sure of what will I paint next), but I'd love to get back to the Gargant soon. Stay tuned!
