Joe's Compact Chaos Company- June - "Poxley the Inconvenient", Mercenary Giant (250 points)

I found this old Fighting Fantasy plastic troll cheap on eBay ages ago. The FF figures were a larger scale, and the trolls therefore work well as giants, scalewise. One or two of these can be seen in the third ed WFB rulebook used this way, painted in vivid pink fleshtones.

The model has a pleasingly weird pose and proportions, but it was an early foray into plastic for Citadel and it's not the best example of the caster's art to be frank. For such a large model, the detail is sparse- even the fingers are unseparated, rendered as smooth mitts. Attempts to clean mould lines and surface mess were pretty unsuccessful- the PVC-like plastic churning and gouging rather than sanding off nicely. Considering all this I decided to freehand a lot of detail, including separate fingers and fingernails and deeply defined muscle, and leave heavy blackline shading in the recesses to hide a multitude of sins. I added patches of sand here and there as some sort of chaotic skin condition, which helped break up all that flesh, and hide a few bits of really bad cleanup on my part, and I think that worked well.
