Hey guys! This Monday I’ve got one of my biggest sculpting projects EVER to showcase, a figure I’ve wished to properly tackle for many years - Halo Wars: Ripa ‘Moramee! The “Halo Wars Arbiter” Ripa was given to us unofficially in the 2011 Phantom, and officially in Halo Hero’s Series 11. However, I’ve always dreamed of making him bigger, and badder. This figure features 12 hand sculpted pieces including the helmet, neck, chest, back, shoulders, wrists, thighs, and even the feet! Furthermore, I made a custom torso piece and extended arms to give him some extra height and bulk. Beginning with paint, I base coated him in black and used Runefang Silver as the primary, then added metallic gold in every one of the ornamental carvings around his armor. Afterward, the undersuit was touched up with Abbadon black, and his eyes repainted in Trollslayer Orange. Once the figure was complete, I even made up 2 custom energy swords with various colors to replicate his in game pair. The final touch was a black wash and gloss seal before finally pitting this massive elite against his foes. I’m so happy to have finally made this beast and I hope you all like it just as much - Enjoy!
