Wow. Awesome doesn't even begin to describe this. Great inspiration, great execution, Tolkein would be proud.
And you've given me a few ideas for a mod I want to do based on a different series of books as well...

Damn cats. hope it's not set you back too far.
Just a bit o'update, still getting better at the moment..
this case is sexy!
Centurion 5 Mod <<--- ON HOLD FOR THE WINTEROriginally Posted by Omega
Mostly back to better than normal...
So, here's fiberglassing!
I won't let myself fill it this time till it's ready to go. Then I can shove it where it goes and USE IT.
So here I go, adding details-
BTW, yes, now I'm getting into deep pockets modding. The amethyst, and quarts point are real, and I have a pile more of the stuff to add. The firedims are not, they're pretty good quality plastic. The real far outweighs the fake, but I had to find those for red.
And the mounting. Antique copper bolts, screwed into threaded inserts. Very secure (each side weighs 8+ pounds) and very understated. I'm really pleased with it. I have another set for the other side.
More impasto, this time with a pumice extender, and it's a LOT clearer.
BTW, my tripod sucks. At least it only cost me a buck.
lookin good, cant wait to see this puppy done

Damn this is amazing work man! I love some of the effects you are using! +rep all day long man!
The end is extremely ****ing nigh.
Looks like ****, but that's high build surfacer/primer tacking some stuff in place for paint. It's FAR better on my end than it looks. Also,blame Cheaps. And el gatos.
That's my lift-off rad cover, in early stages of shaping. It gets styrofoam, papier-mache, plaster, paint and then impasto with heavy-duty extenders. By the end, even a raw styrofoam edge looks like a dream. Yes,that's a ****-ton more money in the top of this as well. It's embedded there permanently in dollops of fiberglass.
Just cause I love my camera in the sun.
And, if you want to know how close to rock it is...
Enjoy, I'm pulling an all-nighter to finish this one. I want water in this tomorrow.
Still going.
Paint is ongoing...
A sense of scale-that tank is a 65 gallon tall.
Naked dog shot.
A bit of brick-red drybrushing...
And a surprise. It'll dry overnight.
I'm a bit shy of 'glass to finish the base. Other than that, it's finish paint and touch-ups.
There are a lot of little touches I'm throwing in the base as I complete it that will only be apparent to me and macro camera work. The end is tomorrow, most likely. I'm doing it RIGHT.
