Cheers Strewart! (by the way, are you the same strewart over on warseer? I´d assume so, but I keep wondering).
I got more workdone on the tyrannosaurs head and neck:
Still WIP, but the features are coming together.
Not much to write about, so I´ll be back to sculpting. Just wanted to share my enthusiasm

I do not intend to put any armour or deco directly on the Tyrannosaurus itself, but I am planning to do some "upgrade-armor" with fitting parts to put on him. If I get this model cast it would be a shame to not have the option of having it without the lizardmen-stuff. A friend of mine already talks about having his Death Korp of Krieg riding on dinosaurs...
The rider is another thing. I want to have one, but I´m still kicking ideas around. I could sculpt one myself, but I don´t want to copy GW´s style. I think it could be a great idea to have a harness on the rex, that allows the saddle of a cold one rider to be fitted on it. This way it would be very easy to customize the rider.
But I´m open for and would appreciate any suggestions.

@ Rokanos: Thanks, I appreciate the enthusiasm.
Quick Update:
The basic proportions are now done. I fleshed out the feet, and tinkered with neck, spine and pelvis.
Now I´ll work on the detail of the skin.
I also included a comparison with two of Reaper´s dinosaurs, a Carnotaurus and a Velociraptor. I figured now would be a good time, since the basic silhouette of this beast is not likely to change any more.
Hope you like it.

Thanks Tycko_D!
Case in point: Update
The skin is still WIP, it takes forever to detail such a large model. Every wrinkle, every line is sculpted one by one and there is soo much surface...
Anyway, enough undeserved selfpity. I want to convey a sense of mass and weigth with the leathery skin texture, a thick wrinkly hide on a 6 ton apex predator.
Let me know what you think!

I can always try!

This carny so far has done the following: 
(it is the smiley face...and the chicken is my mind)
It is beyond epic already, and every time you post it just looks more and more insanely good.
I wish I could sculpt even a snow man, let alone something like you have going here.
My hat is off to you...and you can keep it, because well...the didnt leave much of a head to cover
Seriously though...I love it!

I think that the Carnosaur is brilliant! But if I could offer some constructive criticism, it's start to look a lot like some t-rex toy you could buy in a store. I would really recommend a saddle or some armor, just so people will know you didn't just buy a souvenir from a museum and stick a lizardman on it.

@ Rokanos: Cheers mate! And just try yourself on sculpting, I have started without any former experience a year ago. It´s ll practice and patience...
@ Chahlie: Thanks! There will be armor, decoration, a rider and so on, but I intend to have that as seperate pieces, because I want to keep the option of a "naked" rex.
After all, I primarily sculpted this model because I wanted to see if I could (and because I like dinosaurs), and gaming with it is only the cherry on top.
@ Eternity Warden & Strewart: Thanks!
I am currently putting the finishing touches on the Tyrannosaurus model and should be done next week. It could have been finished already, but I have been busy organizing wargaming tournaments and planning a spontaneous (we had the idea on tuesday) roadtrip to Nottingham. I swear I phoned half of the UK to find a place to stay, probably amusing everyone with my horrific German accent.
In addition I have been writing e-mails to various companies looking for a casting service for my Rex. I have found a company to produce my tyrannosaurus, which means high quality casting instead of me improvising in my living room. It is all very exciting!

I´ve been busy with sculpting non-lizardmen related stuff (and organizing the first Kings of War tournament- great game, check it out!), but I now have something to share here again:
An iguana!
Because small critters are fun.
And since I had to do another mould for the 25mm bases (so I´m able to cast more bases quicker), I moulded the iguana as well.
I´ll be doing 40mm bases this week, and I already started work on a giant cobra (don´t ask)
I intend to do and mould more little critters, and maybe plants or pieces of ruins to give more variability to my bases.
Cheers, the Maniac

Brown stuff is similar to green stuff, but cures much harder. While cured green stuff has some plasticity to it, brown stuff is hard and brittle. This makes brown stuff the putty of choice for hard edges, like in armour.
The iguana however has brown stuff on it, because I had some spare mixed brown stuff, and I did not want it to go to waste.
