o.O for sure i need luck....to make this 10 wargs was a pain :/ i had to fix a lot of things, the riders.................... :shock:

i dont even know where to start...i have a mold already but it will be a pain to create arms and legs and weapons and the details i want to do.

to get a complete warg rider will take me more then 2 weeks i bet -.-

[edit] and i think i will stop creating wargs for now. Besides this 10 wargs, I have 2 waiting for me to fix them, so i will stop for now, i will focus on my orc riders now, and after this, i need a break , i am tired of wargs for now :shock:

i'm sure it will be worth it because 1. its a lot cheaper, and 2. you seem to be very good.

People sell sprues of warg riders on Ebay for very little. The wargs often go for more because they can be used separately or as a mounted unit. I think casting the wargs was a good idea but you'll save yourself a LOT of time if you just buy the riders. Have you thought about bases?

I know ... But it is expensive, to make 12 wargs I used half the bag of the material i use, and 1 bag cost me 1.50 €, 12 riders must be over 10€ or more, and including shipping prices..... would cost me more then 50 wargs made by myself :lol:

what u mean about the bases? all i can think now is how i am going to do with the warg riders

Hum....looks like i have no choise -.-"""" I was trying to avoid create the orc riders from scratch

Here is, the "body of wire"

__

Now lets fill it up and shape it

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Fri Nov 25, 2011 11:12 am

Ah that is cheap! You might be able to pick up a sprue for a couple of Euros, I know the UK LOTR category on Ebay has loads of cheap wargs, shipping to Europe would bump that up though. Looking forward to seeing how you go about this rider

Chris · **Posted:** Fri Nov 25, 2011 11:29 am

all i need is orc riders, not the wargs. it is impossible to get wargs cheaper then this, with a whole bag of the material i use i can create more them 25 wargs

Edit: and the wargs on ebay are horrible...low details...looks like a fail cast lol (not that my wargs are perfect but they are a lot better then that) only the box's look good but a lot expensive and only 6 wargs.

looking forward to see u sculpt it -take enough pictures - it's nice to follow the forming of a sculpt.

Chris · **Posted:** Fri Nov 25, 2011 1:01 pm

ok mate

Here is how it is right now

On the warg I added a seat, and two straps around the neck that i will connect to the seat and around his chest, and filled the orc wire body

now i can shape it better and work on the details

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Nov 25, 2011 3:15 pm

he's looking very good, I hope he turns out well, he's already taking shape. Very nice job Chris

Ok guys, i made a huge improvement on my orc rider, here is some pics

It is not even close to be completed but it gives an idea already how it will be in the end, please opinions about the orc rider

That's awesome Chris! Wow :O

I like the sculpting, it seems done very well. It feels like something is wrong with the proportions - i think the rider is quite big. Anyways a nice sculpting job, just keep it up.

BilboOfTheWhiteTower · **Posted:** Sun Nov 27, 2011 2:37 pm

Well done!!

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sun Nov 27, 2011 3:37 pm

Wow indeedy :0 that is awesome

excellenyt details especially the legs. Good job

Ukfreddybear · **Posted:** Sun Nov 27, 2011 4:29 pm

Pretty good Chris. The proportions are a bit off but you certainly have potential. The legs are about the right size, but the torso, neck and arms are a tad long in comparison. Do you have an official warg rider model to use as a size guide? This will help you when it comes to doing the next one.

Chris · **Posted:** Sun Nov 27, 2011 8:30 pm

Thank you all for your comments

about the size i hope i can do better next time :roll:
