Mad Bodgin’ Mage Log: WTC Canada Goose Moose

For this log I will be going over my bodge of the Team Canada mascot for the Warmachine and Hordes World Team Championship:

The dreaded Goose Moose!!!



When I saw this artwork by Florian Stitz, I knew I HAD to try bodging it.

I started with a cork base that I cut into a maple leaf, and a jack that was partially assembled. I then slapped on the appropriate parts:



Next up was gluing some bits of cork and plastic together, then applying greenstuff to create the head:

I slammed it onto the chassis along with a bent paperclip that would serve as a base for the antlers:



I slapped a beaver tail on there, too.



For the antlers, I flattened pieces of greenstuff and compared the fig to the artwork:



Once the greenstuff cured, I added the pointy bits and ears, and the ice for the axe:



That more or less finished the moose portion. The next bit took some consideration, but looking through my scrap, I came up with this to start:



That seemed to work, so the goose needed a place for it’s brainmeats. An old pikeman’s weapon did the job nicely:



After many applications of greenstuff:



Originally, I made tiny wings with plasticard and greenstuff for the goose, but the goose ended up being pretty huge:



After the Moose and Goose were complete, it was time for painting. Onward to completion!
