So, here we have the finished ogre unit-filling prototype. He's come out surprisingly well.

| 1 Empire Halberdier Ogre. Success! |
As expected, there are some lessons for the future from this project.
- Make the wires for the legs longer so they can be stuck into a cork or something similar to avoid handling him overmuch during the sculpting process
- Slim down his ankles more (this will be aided by following the step above, as I won't have to plug his legs into feet sculpted onto the base)
- Keep the edges neater, particularly around the back of the helmet

| As seen from the side... |
 |
| ...and the rear (not an ogre's best aspect)... |
 |
| ...and the other side (in hindsight, ogres do not have a "good" angle)... |
All in all though, I am happy with the end result and am looking forward to making the other ogres for this unit. I was tempted to run off and make a prototype for each unit (greatswords, republican guard, etc) but this won't aid my overall goal of getting units finished. So, dedication to the halberdiers it is...

| And here we have him "camouflaging" in amongst his halberdier buddies. He is something in the middle, if you can't spot him. |
