Dominar Eeyore - the saddest mascot.

Now what is this?



When I saw Trevor Christensen's new nickname and avatar I must say it made me really happy.
I've always enjoyed the Chain-attack podcast and I really like that Trevor and a bunch of other experienced players have started to make an effort here on our forums.
That said, I really wanted to be give something back and this new avatar of his really got the balls rolling for me.

What if I could give him a custom made Dominar Eeyore to fit his existing Skorne army...
That would also give me a chance at my fifteen seconds of warmachine fame and probably get me mentioned on chain-attack...

So the same evening, I started this stupid project that I've now finished.

I started with a wire armature and covered it in aluminium foil and then a mix of supersculpey and cernit polymer clay. This has to bake in the oven, but is way cheaper than epoxy clays.
I started adding skorne details by copying parts of existing models. Copies are made by making a press mold of oyumaru (InstaMold) of your desired parts and then filling the mold with green or grey stuff.


I added the mane of a GW Wargheist and started detailing the bulked up model with a thin layer of green and/or grey stuff and then carefully pressing a piece of textile to the surface.
I also started on the face by dremeling of excess material and adding new detail.

The weapon is an elongated version of one of Xerxis' clubs.
The face is intentionally sadder than that of the avatar.
As everyone knows, Eeyore is the saddest panda.

I have sprayed the model white and gave him to one of the americans at the WTC for further transportation to Trevor.
I'll leave it white, so he can use his regular way of having it painted to fit his great-looking Skorne army.

Trevor will hopefully get his mascot delivered at the WMW.

Thank you Trevor and the rest of you for all you are giving to this community!

Cheers!
