Title: late entry WIP - Fang - scorpion like creature
Post by: Ivan on 07 July 2011, 08:06:29 PM
Hi there,
So here it is, I got the idea on my walk to the park with my kids. We saw a small crane on four "legs" and later I draw scorpion like creature (in the background). Anyways hope you will like the end product.

Yes, it has 4 legs and spidey stag beetle head  ;)

Oh and sorry for bad light on the photo  :-[

Looking good Ivan, looking forward to seeing this progress.  How big is the creature?

Glad to hear it. It is 32 x 32 mm in the base (legs) 28 mm tall to the root of the tail, 15 mm to the head.

Each square in the Dungeon's is 16mm, and the corridors are 2 squares wide, so this creature would fill a corridor!

dunno, is that a problem? Please excuse my ignorance  :-[ This guy would have a rider so I guess he would fill the corridor... "You shall not pass" but coming not from Mr. Gandalf...

Not a problem, just something to think about.  8) 

There is a bit of space at each side of the squares, so maybe 35mm from wall to wall?  He would certainly be a challenge for the Heroes!

I really like this sculpt.   :-bd  I'm not sure if it quite fits into the Dungeon environment though.  

Another question, do the legs/tail come apart?  I'm just thinking from a casting perspective, it would be very difficult to put into a mould in one piece.
Title: Re: late entry WIP - Fang - scorpion like creature
Post by: Ivan on 11 July 2011, 05:19:40 PM
It was a question all along  :)
Glad you like it, the legs are for now joint together with body as is tail, I guess it could be made as separate pieces after the sculpt is finished.

The rider looks really cool, and would be great as a single figure for Conan/superhero etc

Cheers,

Kev

That's really, really nice work Ivan....I think you might have to have more 'joins' than just the legs though.
Still...a lovely piece of work  :-bd

Cheers - Phil.
