NEWS: Ultraforge Giant

[Frustrated Father]

Ultraforge came on the scene about six months back and has been making some extrodinary resin cast miniatures of a larger scale. Their newest one, the Giant, goes on sale September 12th. Very nice.

That's a BIG miniature!

Seems like it needs something more like a pelt of skins or something to break up all that flesh. Very nice though.

Face is fantastic but the body seems all wrong to me. ( I should know too being a touch on the heavy side myself.)

[Sakura]

Yeah, his upper body is too long, like there's something between his chest and belly that normal humans don't have. But since it's a giant, he don't have to have the exact build like a human. So I don't mind that too much.
It's the trousers I find strange.

[Gonzoangel]

Yeah the lower body is wrong, probably not enough folds in the skin for such a big guy, and the left hand appears unfinished....there should be a space/gap where the thumb wraps around to meet the fingers, although that may not be possible to replicate with resin, not sure.

[Ritual]

It's good I guess, but it doesn't do anything for me. I like Sophia's other sculpts a LOT more.

[Spacemunkie]

Like his face, but the rest does nowt for me either. Not in the same league as the other releases, but still good.

[Ritual]

Well here's what's next from Ultraforge

It's a re-sculpted version of the first release that was 'frowned upon' by a certain company. :hmpf:

while this isn't a mini I want to paint, I actually do like it a lot. I think the different body dimentions are a very nice touch and make it something interesting and unique. I do agree though that there is an aweful huge expanse of flesh on this one.
