#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.
