Brass Bull as ridden monster (Bones)

[Skrill]

Hi all,

 

As of late, I was inspired to convert some of the Bones beasties I have, as mounts for some other minis.
So, after Verocithrax as a ridden dragon (http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/63159-77361-verocithrax-as-ridden-dragon-bones/), here is the Brass Bull:

 

And I couldn't resist to make it be mounted by an Ogre (Here a GW Orge).
Because no matter how big the Brass Bull is, it looks like a pony when an ogre climbs on top (and I find that quite hillarious).

Really enjoy the patina look on the bull, nice work!

[knarthex]

Really Great Work & Concept!

 

With the Ogre aboard, I am reminded of Mongo riding into Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles!

Hod did you do the the conversion; it's not all GS is it?

I wish I could be that good at sculpting with GS...

The saddle is mainly kit-bashed from my bits box (I think they are parts from the GW stonehorn kit so it was a good size for the ogre).

I only use GS to fill the gaps, make the straps and leathers between the saddle and the bull.

Looking good! Love the tarnished look to the bull, and you are right, he does look like a pony compared to the ogre, but still looks like the right size. If he was any bigger compared to the ogre, it would make the ogre look like huge, and less imposing, and who wants that?!

 

And the saddle looks amazing, kit bash or no, my hats off to you sir.
