Red one is the best one, that actually looks like it would be a pretty awesome colour scheme! Red with grey bellies! Also pretty amazing that a 3 year old almost got Jar Jar binks (first pic) colouring spot on!
Now you can't unsee it.

Was all her idea. She started with the green one copying daddy but soon started asking for different colors... Like gold magenta and the dark purple. And after practicing on my old minis she told me: "So now I want to paint my own dino!" ;)

My daughter is 3 as well and she wants to paint, when I finish a model I have to show her and she always says "this one is mine daddy"
 
Thanks... I think the arms of the one with the dagger look a bit long for the body but now that I have started green stuff that should be a problem that is easy to solve...
 
Good thing! I can show off my purple saurus champion again! ;)
But actually it's about the grey thing by his side... Want to start big and try to build my own slann. Question and reason for the purple snapper on the picture is if I got the size right. The grey mass is meant to be the"skeleton" of the slann. It's made of a stuff called fluffy...

Oh... I'm not so confident... Bought my first package of green stuff on Tuesday. I just thought why not think big and try to make a model that is still missing in my army. I'd expect this first attempt to end up in a very simple and strange looking thing similar to a slann.

@tom ndege ,
If your intent was to make a bigger more impressive Slaann then carry on.

If you were aiming at something like the 7th/8th edition frog-on-a-platter examples, that is too big and the wrong shape.

What you have would be an excellent armature for a haunted snowman or a dire pumpkin horror. Check out Jason Wiebe's work that he has done for Reaperminis for inspirational examples of either of those.

In your shoes I would use the armature in the pic for a practice sculpt of a dire pumpkin-headed snowman and rethink on the Slaann.
 
The snowman idea sounds fun.
I was actually thinking about a bigger slann, cause I thought it was easier... ;) but maybe I'll go the Christmas theme with this one.

Today I did a little work on the second priest... Especially the feathers Sight_2015_11_23_224143_884.jpg Sight_2015_11_23_224203_231.jpg Sight_2015_11_23_224153_576.jpgSight_2015_11_23_224215_907.jpg
