[Bracnos]

Well as in the title I want to.turn the maw cursher into a bastiladon. I'm hoping someone that sees this will have both models and can show me a side by side comparison photo so that I can start to plan out how I'm going to accomplish this build.

Thanks in advance



Ps

Any ideas to help me along would also be much appreciated ^_^

It definitely fills that bigger base completely. These guys are so big and bulky. I don't think there's any real hope in fitting him onto a bastiladons base. This isn't mine, but you can see that the haunches are almost in line with the edge of the base

The maw crusher I think is quite a bit larger, and you may have some trouble fitting it to a Bastiladon base. It's a wide model, so you may need to make a few cuts as well.

Couldn't find any of a bastiladon and a maw-crusher next to each other...

But I found these pics of a maw-crusher used in a Lizardmen army, next to some skinks (link). He is wearing a carnosaur head-crest. It looks like this guy is definitely bigger than a bastiladon, or at least bulkier, but I am not sure how well the armored-carapace is going to fit onto this things back.





Also found this guy next to a few ogre conversions:



And a piece of cabbage:



That last one probably won't help but it was too funny not to post.

Thanks for the words and pics. Seeing it built up next to some other big models helps Lot...I know this is going to take a lot of work and green stuff...cutting of the wings molding soooomany parts. Buy even if it tales me months to get it don't I am determined!!!!

Wow yes well looks like it won't be too long for this project. Just now I got the maw for a song (I love running into pissed off people in this hobby) girl walks into the store at the moment I'm the only one in besides the workers she tells me her girlfriend cheated on her so she's selling her models. I got that and a a few more for just 20 ahahhah this is a good way to start me day


edit yes this could work

One option would be mounting each foot (claw?) of the Maw-Creature on an individual round base. Or ovals. Four cavalry ovals all pointed the same direction would minimize the foot print and give some indication of the beast's facing.
