The spice must flow. On the navigators guild.

Suits. Here we have them. The mysterious navigators guild. Moving without moving. I would love to insert the scene where the 3rd stage navigator meets the emporer. But i was unable to find a clip.

Well the first one to do was this buddy:

On the right. Ignore the old lady.On the right. Ignore the old lady.

Well i have another small one. But he is not painted atm. So i did a 2nd stage navigator like Edric, who was to be seen in the mini-series:

I wanted to present this buddy in a tank filled with spice gas. With a 3D-modelling program i constructed a bottom and top part for the tank, which i sent over to a 3D-printing service after some preparation. It came out quite nice. For the tube i used a acrylic-glass tube. The spice gas is a orange-coloured woll. The black parts of the tank are sprayed with a black gloss spray.

And then i came to this masterpiece of the 3rd stage navigator, which i almost ruined in the painting/spraying process:

I was quite lucky to get this unavailable model. The painting of the navigator was easy. Painting a light flesh colour then sepia washing and cleaning. Adding the eyes and done.

The tank was quite harder. Using the minatures size and the movie prob used in the movie i constructed a multi-part model. So it would not cost to much in the printing process. I had 2 bottom parts, 4 top parts, 1 acrylic tube halved and 2 sheets of acylic glass. At the end it still was quite expensive, but it is a unique part, which i wanted hard.  I sprayed the model in a black gloss (don’t use this spray under 10°C, trust me, don’t, never. You will almost ruin the model). In the end i did it in cellar, with a breathing mask and after this i opened all windows. Never do this. But time was running.

Only a mother could love this child.Only a mother could love this child.

And i love this model. Almost perfect.

From one beast to another. Next post comes another kind of beast.

Oh WOW! Where are the Navigator Guild models from? It’s Dune come to life! That entire scene will stick in my mind forever… (Don’t forget the trail of water the one servant is cleaning up!) ausgezeichnet!
