just wanted to share a WIP currently underway with the painting process...

Karkinos was initially inspired by the CRABS custom, and I wanted to copy the figure, but in all these years, i never saw and found the right head for it... so I decided I should just make a completely new concept.

and here's the initial custom, with mixmatched parts, and some epoxy molds for armor.

Image

the pincer arms are from real crabs, and i painstakingly restored its innards, albeit with wires and stuff, as to still able to have the pincers close and open.

when i first saw the claws on the dinner table, it was indeed Clawful that came to mind...

but the rest of Clawful would be a hard job to do, so i went with this one.

Take it easy, have patience. Most of the time the best result comes in many layers......
