Nocturna Gatekeeper WIP

The Gatekeeper

I have a few WIPs on the go at the moment, this is the first one, a 54mm Gatekeeper from Nocturna Models.
I've scratched up a base using platicard covered in magic sculpt for the steps, a 32mm waste pipe for the central pillar and Iv'e added a Photo Etch gate with the idea that he is guarding whatever may be behind the gate at the top of a spiral staircase.

 Here with the pillar coated in Mr Surfacer and sanded nice and smooth and the gate loosely hanging on the hinges.

Ive also added a bunch of keys from the PE set (well he is a gatekeeper) and begun the work on his flesh and hair.

Here he is roughly in the position he well stand.
