    Borrow away! Just remember to add the green stuff straps underneath, saurus don't come with natural Velcro......
    I got the idea from the old Lilith Helsperax model and her gladiator style armour.

    It would make for a more unique Champion for me since i made my first models 10 years or so ago when i was 10 and thought everyone of them should have better protection!

    but i'm not sure i'll use it for a champion, mebbe i'll try testing greenstuffing it and making a Skink chief! :O

    anyways, it's awesome ;) made it look good too :)

    It's about time that Axolotyl dude did some painting or something, the lazy bugger!

    So a few WIP shots of the rosette nosed chameleon, the question is, how are we ever gonna get him down from there?

    Before you can wonder whose heads are hanging from that tree branch your own is added to the collection!

    The great thing about the saurus kit is the number of feathers you can scavenge from the extra banners, mayhaps add a few to your champion? Or to his sword and shield?

    A quick update, includes two other WIP chameleons a Mellors (single horn) and a Taita (double horn) they are a fair ways off as i need to significantly re sculpt the heads of the horned ones!

    Why is it that when I try and post it always goes slow? Ah well! Here's the blade horn chameleon, he just needs a file down

    image_zps02f92564.jpg

    image_zps55bb01db.jpg

    And the really angry knob nosed chameleon, I would be with a name like that!

    C&c always welcome

    looking good! though if i were to make one suggestion, you are putting so much work into the conversions that its worth it to scrape the mold lines. Takes a little extra time but adds so much to the quality! Keep it up, looking forward to seeing them painted

    Well I had some spare time, and decided to give a Neveroddnoreven paint tutorial a try! I returned to a neglected model to try it on, remember this little guy?

    image_zpsda8fa50e.jpg

    I also have an outstanding sculpt that I've been working on, here's a Melors chameleon.

    And from the rear

    And here is a a continuation of my death chicken project!

    image_zps6f0e0993.jpg

    So I went ahead and progressed it further, just exscuse the pointing hand, its not done, it still needs two extra fingers, a thumb, detail and a claw filed down! It's the staff I'd like your thoughts on! Thanks in advance. :D

    Awesome!

    Your sculpts are great!.

    I'd suggest making the shield "whole" - currently it looks a lot like if you took a skink shield and glued it on (wonder why? :p) if you filled the gap in the top, and shaped it with cracks you could get a full shell - i think that would look awesome!

    Good shout, leave it with me and I will get back to you on that one! This is why I love C&C from objective folks! Should be a nice and easy fix, just need to go watch my tortoise for a bit to get a feel for the shell!
    I fully intend to,paint this guy up like the dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park!

    Looks a lot more like a shell now!

    Most importantly do you like it?

    I think it's an improvement, much less "took a shield and glued it on" and more "took a shield, glued it on, and now it's facking badass because i made it so" :3
