Crawler, obviously inspired by Star Wars, Venus Wars and Heavy gear.
It’s like a carrier for the skimmers, used for trade between cities because smaller skimmers either don’t have the range, cargo capacity or too vulnerable to predators.
This was the real project all along, mwahahahahaha!
Taking photos for 28mm definitely is different from 6mm. Can’t get colors to show up right. The camera compensate too much wtih black background. White blackbrough makes the mini looks dark adn flat. Have to try daylight and see if it’s any better.
Dude, that is amazing.
(I also suffer your pain around colours on screens not being like in RL, it vexes me no end)
Getting old sucks. The plan, always ambitious.
A rough beginning.

Apologies if you have answered this, but what make is that hex terrain?
I should have described the process a little.
Day 1 – Glued sprue together and test out pose. The putty was only to add strength to the sprue and hold it all together. I mixed up too much putty so ended up making the general shape of the sculpt, usually it’ll be the nest stem. I left a little wiggle room for another layer of putty over the whole thing in case I needed it.
Day 2 – worked on the head because it;s the one part of the armature not covered. I wanted to get it out of the way so I have something to hold on to whne sculpting the rest of the body. Had some left over putty, so I did one leg as well. In a moment of genius I added a funky hair style.
Day 3 – OK, after sleeping on it the hair wan’t that great. It wasn’t supposed to be hair but quills, still didn’t look good. Redid the quills and worked on the tail. The choice was beteen working on the tail or the arms, I went with the tail be cause the armes will be fragile and probably break off or warp after too much hangling when doing the tail, so i did the tail first. Since I could hold on to the head, I also finished the other leg. It didn’t look as good at the first leg but I can fix it on Day 4. I should add a little more length to the tail.
Day 4 – extended the neck and tail and added the arms. Cut a portion off the leg. The lengthened tail made the neck look just as short so entending the neck was kind a waste of time.
Day 5 – blended off the shoulders and added fingers. In hind sight ther’re much to thick but I was getting bored of the sculpt at this point. This started out as a veloceraptor/dinonychus, turned into allesaur and now some weird cross with a dragon head and weird hairstyle. It looks like a lizard dog to me.
Here’s the finished product. The head does have a little tilt to it, totally unintentional and I have’t noticed it until now.
