Relics. C'thu Vesparmoths

The next group of figures for my C'thu faction is the Vesparmoth. I got two of these as part of the Kickstarter and they are big resin models that sit on 50mm bases. The main body is about 50mm long and about 15mm wide with an assembled wingspan of 90mm across on the larger wings.
Inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos Mi-Go race, the Vesparmoths are a impressive model and along with their smaller cousins the Vesparthers, are the first flyers for Relics (the Vaettir have some figures with wings but are all grounded). There is not that many insect based figures in the miniature world, a underused potential, and the Vesparmoth is a great design with the head linking it to the others in the range.
With one assembled in a blutac test I was a little concerned about potential transport problems so I  decided to magnetise the wings. The recesses for the wings required very little work for the magnets (3 by 2 mm) but settling the opposites was a bit of a fiddle as I wanted them to align the same so they would try and flip before the glue had taken. The base of the wing arms was also large enough to drill and fit another magnet.

The components required very little cleaning. I won't be using the flight stands and will be using blackened wire instead.

Starting on the Flesh work of the body. I decided to paint the main carapace section as if it had been gilded to tie it in with the C'tharacs. The face/tentacles will also be be dark.

Finished Vesparmoths

The Flight stands have been replaced with steel needles painted black. with such large bases i added some mushroom patches which are made form wire and Green Stuff

All the wings are removable and fully interchangeable 

Comparison with Orcnar Unmann and Eotan.

The figures are large but designed well and don't feel like Scale Creep.
