That's a neat idea!

 

ive been thinking of that but cant seem to get one to stay in do you use round marbles of those glass beads?

 

I used regular round marbles. It was quite close but mine has 2 contact points with gorilla glue. It stays in well unless you poke it. You could always use a bit of spree to increase the size of the collar tabs.

 

So i was looking through the bits of my start collecting box and saw the head of the Trog and i was like" Damn! i wish i could use that" then voila, lighting stuck and here is my Trog! its made from a toy dinosaur i cut the head off. All that's needed before i paint it is some milliput to cover the gaps (i think).
I don't have a rider because i was using him as a skink pries,t but failing not being able to find a stand in ill take him off its base or get another skink star priest maybe any tips and tricks would be welcome, i don't have access to green stuff and i have to make up some kind of base, i live in the back arse of no-where in Ireland

 

Did the dino take you for a ride in the first picture? And it ended up with it's head severed?

 

It jumped in the car window and tried to car jack me i thought it a lesson

 

Work so far, i filled holes and gaps with milliput it seems to be ok and the base was made from foam board is now covered in polyfilla and drying out when its dry ill sand it, I'm not the best at sculpting its my first time, if it looks bad when i paint it I'll add a poncho blanket to its back so far so good

 

Painting started, looks really well so far i think, but one of my Trogs nose antenna broke :-( i have it repaired with plastic glue and milliput, if all comes to naught i'll just make it battle damage, I'm now working on how to add my Oracle to him since i have him used as a stand alone model

 

All finished and a little bit of clever engineering ( if do say so myself ) to get the rider on his back, all in all I'm very proud of it for my first ever conversion, that sculpting was horrible but it all worked out in the end.

 

Thank you yeah im quite happy about that too

 

Oh god no! not for a long time yet lol my next one maybe new heads on Kroxigors far into the future

 

Hey guys i have an old metal Kroq gar on Grimlock and im looking to upgrade him a bit with the new plastic old blood head and arms from the star collecting box so id like to get peoples ideas for any help, and also how in the frig can i attach him and take him back off again for storage? any and all help is welcome and i will post pics when he is done
