Scratchbuild #3: Kamakiras

This is Kamakiras, the giant mantis from SON OF GODZILLA. Kamakiras is in 1/160 scale, which is in scale with the 30 cm size Godzilla kits. The model is just over 30 cm, or 12 inches. As with the Hedorah model, I roughed out the parts with Super Sculpy and then applied the final details and shapes with Milliput. Texture was created using finely ground foam that is used in the model railroad hobby for grass and foliage. This was lightly sprinkled over a layer of glue that I spread over the pieces. After this had dried, I sanded away excess or added more if needed. A coat of primer sealed everything.
