Some piccies of some animals that have been 'in progress' for MONTHS.
The 'scales'wander a bit, I fear,.......But these have taken LOADS more time than I thought.
In some cases I could have probably made a couple of 'soldiers' in the time taken to make a  single animal.



Sheep, goat, dog, cat, chicken (yes...really)



Bull, pig, goose, rabbit......nude camel.

Ah we now know what your top secret big project is!

Lots of uses for these -
Roman burning pigs (I know they were in Rome: Total war, but is there any evidence?)
Re-fight Watership down
Billy goats v's Trolls!

(seriously though nice sculpts and very useful particularly the livestock for objectives and baggage :))

I really like the idea of heavily armoured Dwarf Gendarmes on armoured War-Goats. Make it so!

*ahem

Looking out the window at our chooks, yours looks pretty darn decent for the scale :D

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_pig for details - whether you believe it I leave up to you.

Thanks to you too Pixie...It has got a beak and a comb (believe it or not).....The legs are a tad on the fat side......But any thinner, and Dave would never get it to cast.  ;)

Now, what we really need is some 3mm farm animals... you can get the detail on a 3mm chicken, right?

Yokes and chains? Sounds a bit suspect. Maybe she could be carrying a couple of pitchers. So, milkmaid with a pair of large jugs?   :-[ :-[ ;D ;D

I suppose I could just keep rolling out tiny, tiny bits of putty until one looked vaguely like a chicken.
It was bad enough doing one this small !
......And while you're there Pixie......It took me AGES before I realized what your avatar was !  ;D ;D ;D

Missed a trick there Techno, you should've said,"But they ARE 3mm ... I told you the scales wander a bit!"  ;)
