Helm's Deep Uruk-Hai Captain

Mordor Uruk · 09-11-2005, 11:14 AM

Here is my Custom Helm’s Deep Uruk-Hai Captain.

I used Ugluk (Head)
HD Battle cry Uruk-Hai (body parts)

HD Crossbow Uruk-Hai (Body parts)

I cut of the Armour of the BCU, then I cut of the Armour of the CU.
I used the body of the CU because I was more taller the arms however I used from the BCU,

it had better chain mail and better looking arms.
I then cut the breastplate of the CU and removed the upper portion of it, I clued the upper part of the breastplate from the BCU on it and I also clued the legs on the torso.
I checked the film on and on I even printed all the screenshots to make him as accurate as possible. I repainted him and put in some belt straps as seen in the movie, I gave him a Dirk in his left shin (Movie detail) and gave him a longer scimitar that is simply made to clue several scimitar together.
The head (Ugluk) I gave him a customized nose, Ugluk’s kind of flat.
And gave him hair that I repainted this comes from my Michael Myers Mask.
His head I also repainted, I clued it on the upper body.
Last but not least I gave him the hand print on the torso.
I very satisfied how it looks.

Enjoy

SO ugly! its beautiful. this uruk looks familiar with that hair! i think that is the way ugluk should look like. what strings did u use for the hair? i always wanted to paint the white hand...but always turn out crap. did u print it with some stamp or something?

No I did not used a stamp for the hand print. I did print out a copy of the filmscreen were his hand print can be seen, I then painted it on his breastplate.
And for your info I used the head from Ugluk, because he looks similar to the Helm's Deep Uruk cap. However this is not a Custom Ugluk version.

I painted it on the Torso, but I needed something how it looks, I paint not by my computer so I printed the screen.

The chainmail I only painted it dark and then dry brushed it.

Thanks for the response

Wow! That is really cool . . . I really like the idea of combining the parts from different Uruks, because now he doesn't look exactly like any one! I also like the head, I always thought Ugluk had a good face but hated his hair. This one looks much better with the new Austin Powers (Mike Meyers, get it?) hair. Just glad it's not a feminine hygiene product this time! Good job on the nose, too . . .

The white hand is also much better than the one they usually put on the toybiz figs . . .

I never get bored of Uruk-Hais, they have a well, gruesome look to them, that never tires. Excellent paintjob, and all that working look like it paid off my friend. That hair looks creepy though, looks old and tatted, but I guess that just adds to the effect.

Thats right the old Ugluk's hair wasn't good inoff so I made it custom painted it and put a little gel in it.

Thanks
