| Primed and ready. |
I had a creative itch the other day. And with a dash of boldness as well. I decided I wanted a khorne specific Daemon Prince, but with my current situation I don't have the disposable income to just go get one. But then I remembered I had a bunch of left over plastic and metal daemon prince parts. So this, kind of stupid, yet also kind of cool, idea was born.
As I started to tinker away with the assorted parts it became obvious that the most necessary part I lacked was a complete torso, either in metal or in plastic. But I did have the front pieces in plastic. But I had plenty of other junk that I might be able to use and fake the rest of it with greenstuff.

| Fitting the bits. |
The growth spurt between the late '90s metal Daemon Prince and the plastic one from last decade is very much apparent. But I had this idea that he was like an old cartoon caricature of a tough guy,: all shoulder and chest and puny legs. Not too physcially different from an ork nob in that respects.

| Pinned. |
Next came the big glob of greenstuff. I applied layers of muscle to the back and tried to get the back to conform to the front. My lack of skill with sculpting is quite obvious here, but what I did accomplish I can live with.

| Baby's got back. |
I hid the most egregious errors along the belt line with trophy skulls and a marine helm. And I added a plastic cloth to cover up the tail hole, since I didn't have a tail available to fill in that gap. Finally I glued this monster to his base and left him propped up on some paint pots for a few hours so the glue could dry and to allow the green stuff to cure more.

| Drying. |
After that I sprinkled on some grit to the base. After that dried I took him out with some of his friends (you'll see them in a future post) for a priming party. Which is the state he is in in the first pic of this post.
