Dune Themed 40k: Sandworm

Dune Themed 40K: Sand Worm Even though this isn't the largest model I'm building for this army, for me this is the centerpiece model of this army.  I sculpted the entire worm itself out of Super Sculpy.  Filling the mouth with the "teeth" was extremely painstaking. Rolling bits of Sculpy out one at a time to a tapered edge and layering it into the mouth working from the center out. I would guess that this step took me at least 8 hours of active time working on it.  The end result of all those "teeth".  I decided to run the Sandworm as a Land Raider, as it was similar-ish in size.

The terrain kits used were: Sector Mechanicus Galvanic Servohaulers, Thermic Plasma Conduits, and Thermic Plasma Regulator. Using the Leadbelcher rattle can was a lifesaver on this project, and  I used an entire pot of Nulin Oil wash to cover this massive machine. I also free handed a House Atreides symbol of a red hawk that I have been using throughout this army. A close up on the platform of the Spice Harvester. I really liked the idea of being able to put troops on the model itself when in the display case.  The most painstaking part of this project was painting each of the rivets
