I am currently starting a project where I plan on painting a seraphon army, each unit representing a difference species of American desert reptile. I love the idea of doing my skinks like desert iguanas, but the frills are causing my creative vision some trouble. Has anyone tried removing the frills altogether? How did it turn out? Would my models still be legal?
They're really easy to remove. You could sand them down, clip them, or just cut with a hobby knife. Smoothing out the top will give it a more natural look.
i have 10 chameleon skinks made this way i recommend sniping fairly close with wire cutters then chipping away closer and more exactly with a scalpel.
