Welcome back, we are continuing our trend of trying new things and so this build is a bit different than normal. I actually debated putting this mini in my kitbashing section but decided it had enough separate bits to warrant a description. Be warned though, he's made from the extra bits of at least 3 minis and not the usual amalgamation of sticks and hot glue. Though there is still hot glue. So. Consider yourself warned. The results:
That's a mushroom man alright. I went with some weird colors for the fungi on the ground and tried some odd looking blending on the actual mini. I feel it was partially successful but that could be my limitations as a painter. I definitely feel this piece would benefit from a better artist than I.
What you’ll need:
- A spare mini or bits from several, the more plant like the better
- Something for the head; I used a scrap bit of plastic but even hot glue would do in a pinch
- Dollar store hot glue
- Dollar store superglue
- Dollar store paints
- Basing material
Not much to explain here, as your build will depend on your bits used and will differ from mine. Assemble your fungal monstrosity into a vaguely humanoid shape and add some weird textures however you can. I used tiny amounts of hot glue for texture. I also broke toothpicks into very small strips and glued them on for a wood-grain texture. Anything to make him seem more plant-like, really. Finally you can paint it up. Really blend the earthen colors and consider adding some brighter, more toxic colours to give it more of a surreal feel. Use hot glue to decorate your base with more mushrooms. Now the real problem: will he be a friendly NPC? Or a deadly encounter?
