    It's a pretty good squat he has got going on there! You might have to custom build the legs from greenstuff! Also new spartan pose is fantastic!

    The skink definitely looks like he is "squatting" more than sitting, I have never tried converting a skink to be in a different pose before so I couldn't offer many tips. The only examples I could find easily online of any skinks sitting down were of Tetto'eko sitting on his palanquin, but that is more indian-style sitting than a squat... maybe green stuff? Or he could be converted so he is coming out of the water or a swamp?

    I am a fan of your skink posing with the axe, he is my favorite of your skink conversions so far:

    I just have to ask... is that a chocolate snowman in the background?!

    I could make a little potty that fits under his tail... Might be less difficult than doing the legs... Maybe also a "do not disturb" not on his spear or a newspaper in his hand? I wonder what name my wife would give to him ...

    So... Details and shields...

    ;)
    What do you think if the yellow lava skink gets the blue / ice shield? Will try it out and show you tomorrow.

    Well well look at you doing detail, remember back in your thread when said you would never be able to do things like that.

    Blue shield will go nicely on the Lava skink and I must say you have improved vastly over the last couple of months, well done Tom :spiderman:

    Dortmund, Germany... Just a normal forest in an high industrial area... There are far more forest like forests further away from our place... ;) This one is next to our kindergarten and we have another one just the other side of the road.

    Champion looks a bit chewed up but he will look good once you get on him! I see why that would be a tough position to copy with existing parts! Almost definitelyneed to greenstuff it!

    @Acrocanth Yes! Really a nice little guy. Sad that he's my only one. I should really redo the painting on him.
    And yes @Bowser I guess greenstuffing is the way to go... Hail Rastafari! :D:p
    Another side project: Redoing the paintjob on my babysteg and making a new one out of the toy Dino next to it. I really like the old steg more than the modern one, so I thing toy dinosaurs are the way to go for me there...
