    Looking great! Those yellow Skinks are striking amidst all of the blue Saurus. Really excellent work!

    Nicely done! I love the plaques and spikes.
    Out of what did you make those?

    Grrr, Imrahil

    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!

    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.
