Looking great! Those yellow Skinks are striking amidst all of the blue Saurus. Really excellent work!
I'll definitely be getting one of the new start collecting boxes, all those skinks will be yellow too
The big spikes on the back are just done by hand, with a few lines scraped in with a sculpting tool. The armour plates are made by squishing out brown (or green) stuff onto thin cardboard (I used mounting board), and rolling flat and as even as possible. Then I take the Aztec rolling pin (made by green stuff world), and roll the pattern into the nice smooth putty. I made several pieces using the parts of the rolling pin I wanted to put on the model - notably, the big round design, and several pieces of just glyphs. When the putty is mostly dry, I used a knife to cut straight through the putty and cardboard to get the armour pieces.
Got it primed, and did the basic colors. Pretty happy with it - I'd seen plenty done in the reverse colors (blue underneath, orange up top) but I wanted it the other way around - I think the gold will look better over the blue. Time will tell!
Great work mate, I Love the colorscheme a lot. Overall an awesome build and great result! Have fun puting him on the table. Grrr, Imrahil
Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with it. Next up, in my delivery-to-be: 2 x bastilidons, loads of skinks and some terradons
Yeah. I definitely have skinks earmarked as lizard handlers for starters, and I'm hoping it's easy to magnetize the bastilidons.
