You cheeky beggar, is that an Orky titan foot? =P
Nah, to squish em underfoot the gargant would need to be stomping about, only thing i want touching the ground is the flight stand.
talking of – I realised I needed to make the flight stand so i could get the other bits of flying wire bent to their final positions before i sculpted effects over them, so today i've roughed out the stand.
Needs to be heavy, which would suggest cutting it from metal sheet/plate, but i don't have any of that. So instead I melted some metal, poured it into a sort of oval shape and stuck the rod in that:

then i scalpel'd an oval from a sheet of plasticard (see template outlines above courtesy of Word

) and stuck the metal blob to that with milliput. Hopefully final thing is heavy, strong, and still relatively low profile – i don't like thick bases.

not going to do anything fancy with the stand. once that's dried it'll just be textured and painted the same as my salamander bases, but pictures here as the base was made in a slightly unusual way …
no time to paint today, but im going to try to keep doing something on this every day to make sure i don't abandon project
