Raising Cthulhu

Oooh, scary title. For those not in the know Cthulhu is an elder god straight from the head of H.P. Lovecraft, a turn of the 20th century story writer. This model comes to me courtesy of One Monk Miniatures. It's available free in the models directory.

On with the build! Our first two shots are just the pieces cut and scored.

Spiffy. The scoring is best done before actually trimming the parts out. Watch out on the body piece. There are some slots that need to be cut so the other parts can be fitted while building. It's easiest to do that now, rather than wait until the body is already assembled.
Here are most of the parts parts ready for assembly into the sub-components.

And, here are the assembled sub-components. The body was a real pain. That shape is simply NOT easy to achieve. Kudos to the designer because I'll bet it was equally difficult to design.

 

Aaw... Some kind hearted soul left him a sacrifice. How nice. The sacrifice is a 28mm cheerleader figure from Shadow Forge Miniatures, shown for scale.

Build time: about seven hours, but I'm pretty meticulous with my cuts and scores. It could probably be built in about four hours by someone less anal than me.
Build Difficulty: 3/5. Most parts are pretty simple, but the fiddliness of the body boosts this diffulty by a full two points!

Next project: Another Ebbles model! The C6 "Cassowary" Light UGCV.
