Blog Thunder Lizard Model Project by Suds

How does one go about doing that without having the greenstuff stick to the plastic bit?

 

Some very nice work here. Love that headdress.

 

Tlanextic’s coming along great!!

Keep up to good work!!

 

Thank you! And honestly, it might be my favorite part of her lol

 

Thank you Im definitely looking forward to having a true army shot with her in the center...one day!

 

She definitely is, beey proud if her so far!

 

sorry for the late reply i normally use water but vegetable oil works here is a good tutorial video

 

Not a problem, thanks for the video!

 

Definitely my true passion project that started when I first began the Hobby, I am picking back up where I left off with my Seraphon's Thunder Lizard (or Thunderdon in my own lore).

The Blessed Skink Seer Itzli-Citlalli, before The-World-That-Was was destroyed by Chaos, stole an Egg from a nest of a massive Thunder Lizard that inhabited the Dragon Isles. Barely escaping the Isles the Seer took the Egg back to his Temple City in Lustria and waited for it to hatch. When it hatched the already massive creature imprinted on the Seer, and thus the bond grew stronger as the skink hand raised the creature.

Generations later, more Thunder Lizards have been hatched in Texcoco, imprinting on trusted Priesthood of Itzl. The priesthoods bond with these giants have allowed the Seraphon of Texcoco to harness and control these giants, especially for war.

Now settled in both Ghyran and Ghur, these Thunder Lizards, or Thunderdons by some, evolve in the realm they inhabit.

Starting her Sotek Engines, which will go under both side platforms... for those who think themselves safe once under the platforms are sorely mistaken as Soteks wrath is poured upon them.

Also since the last photo new support beams have been added and finished, along with her 24 skinks have been primed! Also have primed a few modified Saurus Banners to place on the new beams to add color ajd cohesion with the rest of the model, and also a poor CoS solider who was caught trespassing

 

Thank you!

 

Finished the first of two Sotek Engines!

Real fun to paint, pretty easy compared to other stuff ive been painting recently, probably 4ish hours total?

Went for an Ancient yet taken care of feel? Almost feels like painted petrified wood a bit to me. Really love the color, I think it'll pop real nicely once out onto the platform, and even better once the snakes are added

Thinking of starting the next one tomorrow along with the icons that ill be placing on the support beams to bring more cohesion across the model.

Colors used: Redwood recipe (base), Sotek Green, Dragon Bright Orange, Wild Rider Red, Moot Green & Reikland Fleshshade.

 

It looks good, the shade(wash) brought down the brightness of the colors in a good way.
I love the mid-American vibes

Good luck on the other one.
Great to see the progress on Tlanextic again

Keep it up

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thank you, and yes totally agreed about the wash bringing the colors to a nice spot! Came out super well I think, definitely looking forward to having them both done and eventually attached. I too love the Native-American vibes to it

At the moment i am debating magnitizing the platforms to the frame vs gluing... and likewise with the Sotek Engines. Be able to take things off for transport might be nice, but then again, I am planning to design a custom carrier box for her.

Feels very good to be focused on her again

 

Here is the most up-to-date Warscroll for Tlanextic at the moment with a revised title also, from Tlanextic, The Last Thunder Lizard of Ghur to Tlanextic, The First Thunder Lizard

This name reflects my own homebrew as the first Thunder Lizard to be apart of any Seraphon or Lizardmen army.

 

Currently working on Icons that will go on the new Support Beams (outwards), these will help fill in the wood + bring that rather bare area more in-line with the rest of the model

 

Truly awe inspiring

 

Thank you Been working on her for awhile, piece by piece. Ill finish her one day, until then, shes just a lot of fun to work on

 

Can't wait to see her done Suds.

(Then you should get GW to promote your work again! )
