Matis: Yes I have over 400 more trees to shred and waste on the underside. There will be lots of flocking, tall grasses and other stuff to make the jungle as "jungle'y" as possible

I made progress last night with a new addition to the Thunder Lizard. With some great opinions from my friends Chase and Matt I came up with a cool way to use the extra Stegadon heads.

I introduce...The TAIL SPIKE SKULL RING of DEFENSE!!!! (can't think of a better name

)

Thoughts?

The Ring of Skulls does come on and off. All the rope is hand tied and wrapped..(boy that was fun)..Also I need to re-ink and bone up on the color a little bit...

You have amazed me with this thing every time you have put up an update. About the Stegadon heads if might look better if closer to the tip of the tail like a stegosaurus. Currently looks a bit high up on the tail for ease of use.

Started to work on some of the side leg platforms. I was thinking about the color for these ALOT. I figure the Main Platform with the Engine of the Gods on it would be gold, along with the Slann Driver Platform. But the leg platforms are only just platforms for skinks. I decided to make them stone with flares of white and blue coloring to tie them in.

Let me know what you think... I only worked the bottom part of one to get a feel for it...Shields still need highlighting and some ropes need clean up work..but you can see what I am going for...

Your thoughts?

a very nice way to distinguish the different platforms. i think the stone theme on these will give a very "old living fortress" feel to the creature which i quite like.

Ok big update here....

Lets see... A friend of mine suggested another platform for the Terradons to RE-ARM themselves with more Boulders extending the usefulness of them... So right behind the Roost I created a small platform that will be loaded with boulders.

I also am creating a larger Skull ring just below the boulder platform. This will have 6 Stegadon Skulls on it and will be tied in a similar fashion. I am also working on a Stegadon Skull Necklace around where the Slann sits.

I also have painted up (not done yet) My Kroxigar Reign Pullers.

Here is the Slann Driver....

(I Tried the standard color for the Slann but he just got lost in the model. So I figured the color I used to tie the platforms together worked well...)

I also thought it would nice if the runes on the platform seem to "power up" let me know what you think.

Still left to be painted: Boulder Platform, 1 Leg Platform, The Thunder Lizard, its spiky bits and more I am sure...

OK folks...so I get 1 week off.. Wife and I are going to The Riviera Maya in Mexico for our annual no kids, no work, trip. I will return and get started on painting the Thunder Lizard's body.

As of right now, ALL platforms are fully painted and inked. Pics when I return.

CHEERS MATES!

The Riviera Maya in Mexico

If anything, this should inspire you to paint it even more.

MAJOR UPDATE:

OK so after picking up a compressor and airbrush kit from Harbor Frieght for $70.00 USD, I got to work painting the body of the Thunder Lizard. three pots of Bleach bone and 2 pots of Mechrite Red and 4 pots of Devlan Mud wash I finished the body, Details were added and additional conversions added to the platform systems. I have 1 last little conversion to add and paint before sticking on but then the Thunder Lizard is done and its crew needs to be painted. After that the terrain board needs work too...

Please let me know what you think.

The (KSS) Kroxigor Steering System:

The Crown:

Armor/Sacred Shielding:

The Sacred Plaques of The Old Ones:

More Leg Platform Armor(ish) things:

The Display Board:

River Bed (Still needs water added)

Cold One Calvary in the Jungle....

Please let me know you thoughts.... Thanks for looking.

Yes this is truely nice. Now that I am in the area would love to see it. I can donate about 7k of LM to help defend him if needed for a big battle
