April's Fool

 Who is more foolish: A fool or the fool who models him?

Of course, I had been hoping to have this model ready on the first, but time makes fools of us all. The lower half is a Warhammer fantasy handgunner with zombie feet, the torso is a plague monk torso reclaimed from the ratguard, the arms are both handgunner arms, the left hand is from the tempestus scions, the mask is from Blackstone Fortress, the hat and feathers are from the handgunners, and the skull is from the beastman shaman. Both the left hand and the left foot refused to stick on the first few attempts, which explains why there is so much green stuff matted around them. But we can resolve that with the magic of MS Paint.

Much better! This is closer to how I see the finished model. The hood wrapping will be redone in greenstuff to cover the shoulders, and the bulges of greenstuff will be cut down. The base idea is a must, though painting confetti is something I will have to figure out. I will put small bells on his ankles if I can find ones of a suitable size, but I am undecided on if there should be rats below him or fireworks behind him. Even though he has a faceless mask and a skull-scepter I do not believe this is an evil fool. Sinister, perhaps, but not malicious.

Evil or not, this was a very fun and surprisingly quick model to produce. If cleanup and painting prove as fun I may do some more in between larger projects.
