Matthew Beauchamp recently sculpted an excellent line of Dragon Men for his Retroverse. I had to get them--and they are massive and burly, about 45mm or so! Great scaly brutes, But the heads were a little less reptilian and more orcish than I would like, having committed to the Antediluvian aesthetic of Buckland Rogers. Don't worry, I'll find a use for that head somewhere. So I took a couple of hours with Green Stuff and a dental tool and made a new hunchbacked crocodilian/mosasaur head, scarred and with a toothy muzzle. This is a prominent NPC in my spacefuture games, Atrox the weapons merchant. He is about nine foot tall, cheerfully violent and moderately amoral. Won't sell biological weapons or anything with long-half-life decay products, but otherwise it's fair game if you have the credits. Pretty scarred about the face and neck, because he's a professional and insists on testing each type of weapon before selling. Also from ritual Laser-Glaive duels. I have decided his species mostly practices gigantocracy: whoever is biggest gets to rule. Not a perfect system, but very good at supply logistics and famine avoidance. "Perhapf sir would care to infpect our line of Deathshead blafters? Only the finest quality!" "Flamerf, zapperf, plafma-bolterf, we got it. Throw in a laser free with every third purchase." "We think thif one is from the future. I call it an Ontological Disruptor. Dunno HOW it works, but push thif button and the target vanishes from the physical univerfe for 6.3 secondf. The savvy tacticianf can immediately fee the poffibilitief." "Or perhapf sir would like a more ELEGANT weapon, from a leff civilized age?" "Clubf, maces, nooses, axes single or double, goads, prods, glaivef, fpears, throwable mambelef--oh, the Vault?" "I see that sir is a discerning customer! Only the moft DEVAFTATING beam weaponf and mortarf to be found thif side of New Xibalba!" "But don't juft take MY word for it! Liften to the teftimonialf of our satisfied customerf!"

Do not expect too much accuracy from me. This is one of my early forays into sculpting. Dimetrodon The pose is probably not accurate and the proportions may be a little wrong. I can always call it a baby or a relative species instead. Tully Monster and baby from the Plesiosaur group. I was on a bit of prehistoric video watching, so I decided to make some creatures. The plesiosaurs is probably either a baby Eoplesiosaurus or Plesiosaurus (the first from the group). The Tully Monster is just a fun creature. I probably should have made the stomach white instead of the back for camouflage purposes.

Has anyone seen the textured rollers made by the company Green Stuff World? Came across them when I was buying some items to make bases. Bought a few of them, but now I have seen how simple and quick it is to make bases am thinking I will buy the others when I am a little more financial. Tonight pumped out 16 bases using the planks for rebasing some of the Rum & Bones stuff I am about to paint. Anyhoo thought I'd share the before and after pics. Did a quick paint up of them to see how they would turn out. Just bases coat, washes and bit of drybrushing. First one is meant to be frozen, but I thought it would work really well as lava.

For the August challenge we were supposed to sculpt something onto one of one of Talespinners designs. I decided on a cat sitting on laundry, but the pile of clothes never looked right. Elder spawn (8) wanted to help, so she painted the bed.
