The 1983 Citadel Giant
Alan Perry
and in the Red corner JOHAN!- a standard 28mm Citadel villager (for scale)
100mm base. No original metal base so I suppose he is even heaver.
Weight and size were an issue. I haven't painted anything this big and heavy before that needed precision. I have buildings that are bigger but they are light and easy to manipulate. After a start where handling was rubbing off work I had just done I ended up mounting him to a half gallon square plastic can of paint. It made it heaver but provided a counterbalance. Significantly reduced wrist strain.
This giant came to me with no base, no head or hand options, no knife. So I didn't have to think about how to build him. Which is good because I still be dithering and working out the very best way to magnetize the options.
Great to finally have him ready for battle.
