The Great Unclean One

This is a figure that Games Workshop made in their Fantasy Range. They called it the Great Unclean One (also known as the Greater Demon of Nurgle).

The Great Unclean One

It was painted overall a Dead Flesh color. Dried Blood-Red was used where the Great one’s flesh has been ripped opened. The baby demons crawling out from Nurgle’s stomach were painted green.

F18 Hornet

The wings of this Academy 1/32  F18 Hornet were primed with Floquil Primer, than airbrushed with a lightened up Ghost Gray. I airbrushed the panel lines with floquil weathered black before the final coating. It blends in when the gray top coat is sprayed.

The landing gear was comprised of 50-pieces and took me about 3 weeks to do.

“Rosebud” was the dying word spoken by Orson Welles in the movie Citizen Kane: a reference to his childhood sled – the symbol of memories of youthful innocence.
