Hi, guys !

Here‘s a totally unplanned custom.
That base-figure crossed my way, and inspired me, spontaneously, to make a half-troll, from „the hobbit- battle of the five armies“, out of it.
Later I‘ve found out, it‘s called „Grawp“, from Harry Potter, which I don’t know much about.

First I remodeled the head : cut out both eyes and repositioned ’em a bit farther away from each other, with a little tilt, to turn the infantile, into a more evil look.
Cut off material at the cheeks; the hair and ears. Removed the lower jaw and reposition it, for the battle-cry-position. Then sculpted face; oral-cavity; new ears, the whole head.

Cut out the neck from the body; cut it into segments and repositioned it in a more forward pointing angle.

Cut off the hands, but kept the joints/pegs. Added new hands, from an unknown fodder-figur and connected them to the Gwarp-pegs, by using nails; glue and sculpy.

I‘ve sculpted a hunchback, reshaped the forearms and shoulders a little bit, with the dremel, before I’ve started to add all those sculpy-dots, to create the uneven, troll-ish skin-surface. I also elongated the toenails of this blowzy lout.

To keep the weight of the club low, I‘ve sculpted over an hollow plastic-pipet, on which I’ve wrapped halfs of foam-earplugs around. Carved the spikes from a sushi-bamboo-stick, which are mounted to the club, by needles, (covered with glue) for maximum stability.

Paintjob :


I went over the greyish-white of the Citadel „Corax white“ spray primer, with an extremely watered down mix of „Ulthuan grey“; „Cadian fleshtone“ and „Flyed one flesh“, just to add that slightly nuance of regular human skin-tone, to the pale troll-complexion.
With an strongly watered down mix of „Dawnstone“ and „Castellan green“ I‘ve „drybrushed“ the dark areas.

The loincloth is made of an old shammy, painted with brown and black shoe-polish.
