    Yeah I didn't bother sculpting scales for something so small. I guess it depends on how much time you want to spend on them haha

    True! I'll go for a bright and popping colour on that snake so nobody will recognize it has no scales :D

    We've finally had a dry day here so I've managed to get the aerosol cans out. Matt varnished the Stegadon crew ready for the metallics to be painted now. Also primed my Slann and a couple of units of skinks so I've got stuff to be getting on with if the weather changes again.

    No pics I'm afraid but once the crew are fully finished I'll post another update.

    I like the colors. Are you planning on highlighting the Black dots?

    At first sight I thought He had a Yellow mustache :facepalm::oops:

    Both your Stegadon and Slann make me embarrassed that I still havn't done mine:oops::oops:

    Grrr, Imrahil

    The spots were done with the Wyldwood Contrast paint so I might come in with a subtle brown highlight on them, I'm scared of ruining them though haha.

    Yeah I see the mustache too, I might change the lip colour. You're not the first to have said that.

    It's taken me years to get around to painting this stuff so there's definitely no reason to feel bad about it :)

    Thank you so much! I'm still learning and improving. I'm trying to increase my painting speed too, it takes me a long time to get to that end result. The community on here are a great inspiration and help to keep me motivated :)

    The little critters on the Slann palanquin are so cute. It was fun coming up with the schemes for them all.
