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.

How did you get the cat and lab to sit still long enough to be modelled ?
IanS
I LIKE those!
Are Pendraken about to do a farm set?
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!" ;)
Nice mate!
Interesting package arrived today too! V happy bunny Techno!
Excellent stuff Mr T.
Just slightly worried about your reference materials ...

Gimme!
Indeed.
How many of those cats are going to end up as familiars? How many of those rabbits will end up with magic users?
Put me down for a flock of sheep, a half herd of cows, an annoyance of rabbits, a skein of geese, a flock of chickens, a litter of piggies, 2 dogs and a cat.
I don't like goats.
ok time to nit pick,
Sheep - stance is wrong, where's the welsh wellies ?
Goat - silly billy, gruff enough ?
dog - no Alsatians ?
cat - does it come with a dustbin ?
Chicken - too many feathers
bull - no ring in its nose ?
pig - needs an apple in its mouth
goose - would look better on a plate
rabbit - made of chocolate ?
camel - has the hump
When are these gonna be cast ??? hopefully soon, I have an order to place and need a farm :)
Phil, you've done a great job there m8, keep it up.
=D> =D> =D> =D> =D>
:-bd
At last I can do a beast of Caerbannog diorama :D
I can see many sheep and goats being added to bases!
Now waiting to see if Techno will do Killer and Blue Whales too! ;)
What are you going to do with a V happy bunny, Will?
Use it to take out Knights!
A little dog could be useful with my new witches....
Quote from: mad lemmey on 21 June 2014, 10:37:58 AM

A sort of escort service, then?
Just noticed how Phil did the cat, in the top piccy it's stalking that hen.....

Just right for a knight on the town!
Thats one fantastic pig, now all we need is a spider named Charlotte. ;D
Hoagie
Anyone think a few bunnies out on the terrain would be an excellent low key marker for terrain difficult for cavalry - a warren a la Naseby? Or as a blind to invite caution?
Mollinary
Can't help thinking that the camel is very large when compared to the bull and the pig?
I 'butchered' (that sounds nasty, doesn't it ? ;D) the camel form one that had 'something' (I can't remember what it was now.....Just a cloth ?) on its back, Ray.
Measuring it.....'It IS a little on the tall side.'
My guess, is that when the original sculptor made it, it would have looked too
small with a man on its back, if it had been made the 'correct' height.....So we're down to compromising the scales to make it 'look right' again. ;)

A rabbit that size, Will......No problems ! ;)
You wouldn't want one that size digging holes in your garden......Trouble is,any smaller and it would just be a tiny blob of putty. ;D ;D ;D
Hope they all DO come in useful though......And thanks for the compliments. :)
Cheers - Phil. (A spider called Charlotte ?....What have I missed in my so called education ?)
Charlotte's Web by E. B. White

Thanks, I. :)
Something that had passed me by.
Cheers - Phil
Probably cause it's in English ?
;)

Brilliant animals Phil.
Now you have your eye in, can we have the following
Bactrian Camel
Bear
Yak
Wolfhounds
Rabbits doing what they do best
;D
Goading Hedgehogs?
Whiffling their noses and muttering "Don't call me Mr Thumpy"?
Seriously, I'd be very glad of a few Bactrian baggage camels myself.

Be a long while, Mark. ;)
Not sure if the 'green' of the Mongols' camel has returned to Techno Towers yet.....That would be a very quick conversion...So....... maybe that one. :-\

Does the rabbit come with Great Big Teeth!!? :)
No, just big ears, Craig. ;)
