Hi

This is my first attempt with greenstuff ever and also to post a picture here. Its supposed to be a goblin mascot for my team Green and Messy.
Please let me know what you think of the fig.

Nice job :)

It might have been better with the lacing of the ball on the front as it looks a bit plain. You could do some eye holes to make it looks more like a costume?

looking again: I think the big flag might distract from the costume!
I would consider putting an other arm insteed of the bigflag (his right arm)

Thank you for your kind words.

The picture might cheat a little bit when it comes to the big flag.
I have thought about the eyes as well and I might end up drilling two holes for him.

The idea with the flag is to have something written there like the team name or something along the line.

I as well agree on the eye holes, but the fig looks awesome. Post some pics after you get it painted.

Good job! =) I'll second the eye-hole opinion and also throw in another idea... Make small pointy goblin ears of green stuff to poke out through the sides of the top, and a nose below the eye holes. This will enhance the costume look and tone down the current "ball with arms" look.

Cheers!

Yup can see the lacing up the back...eye holes - probably mean ones would be great : o\"/o
Nice start though.

Like they said about the eye holes. As for the standard, i think it just needs some more height on the pole.


Excellent! :D

Eyeholes will be added and I might cut off a nose from a plastic gobbo to add the last touch.
I have started to paint him and I hope to find the time to finish him before RDV 3 or at least before ACC 2005. But I still have 2 BOBs and a blitzer to finish before RDV 3.

Darheel I will post pictures of the entire team as soon as they are ready, as mentioned about then there is still some work to be done. I should finish one bob tonight.

Thank you for all the comments and feedback, glad to hear I am not that far off with greenstuff as I thought :lol:

Don't put on the nose! Just eyeholes!
