First Mangler Painted

After spending much of Tuesday putting together my first home-made Mangler Squig, I was keen to get some paint on him and see how he turned out. I got my chance last night, and here is how he turned out:

One surly Mangler Squig, ready to spring into action on the tabletop.

A bit of a top-down view. I decided to give him a stripe of purple down his spine, including all he ridges on his back. The model doesn't have a ton of detail on it (no scales or anything like that), so I figured a colour change might help break him up a bit.

Some of the joints between green stuff and Magic Sculpt were more obvious than I realised, but on a model like this, I'm not too fussed.

Here he is from the other side.

I liked the idea of hooking spiky things to his tail so that when he thrashes about, he acts like a big, mean flail. I might add more flaily bits to the other one.

"Size matters not": Yoda may have been very wise, but in some things I think he might have been mistaken.

All in all, I think he came together better once he was painted. I'm now looking forward to getting the second one done, so that I can have a go at painting him as well. First things first, I guess - he's not even half sculpted yet...
