those molemask heads acually go quite well with the iron borthers soldier bodies. i tried them out but thought the protruding gas mask snout intersected too much with the gourget, but looks like you got it to work!

as for washes, i personally would do the dip in sepia, but use the black to do joints. so the main shading is subtle with the sepia shading, and the deep recesses are dark! maybe thats too much faffing though?

That first Dino Riders picture brought back memories...those things were super cool when I was a kid.  Most of the toy line was later refurbished and used for Jurassic Park miniatures as well (for those looking to kit-bash some dinos).

How I longed for this...





Some of the smaller ones...not so much...

ok, this is the middle of the night and Mr Viking went to bed. I must admit that today was drunken and strange. But we managed to put some great stuff together.

The Viking did a T-Rex with lasers on the head  ;) ............ and more  :o

I managed to snap a few pictures on the way. But only these two were even close to be good enough to post... so I post these anyway.

 lol

These are of course still VERY work in progress pictures and only of the GREEN side NORTHERN army!





More to come!

Yes, Jonas and I had a convertothon last evening and as he failed to capture any of my work with his camera I have had to do so today myself:


Some sort of hadrosaurid given the equipment needed for battle. It sports two heavy machine guns and an infrared eye augmentation (giving it recon).


I believe this is meant to be a (small) bracchiosaurus. It is equipped with lazer cannons, a cerebral stimulator and an ocular transductor. It seems one of the stimulator cables didn't survive transport.


This ceratosaurus has head mounted MG's and will have a rider at the back. It also has a comms relay.


Stegosaurus in the making. It has been fitted with electrical legs and a power tail so far. Will have lazer cannons to the sides eventually.


I really like Jonas' ankylosaurus with the Saurian rider on it. Brilliant!!! The rider makes all the difference. I shall see if I can find some suitable figures and mount riders on the majority of mine too. A head swap with a ramshackle games molemaske will surely tie what ever miniature I choose into the theme.  :)

Recently stumbled upon one of those on my attic in poor shape (without howdah and figures) though but he's heavy, will take some pictures and post them here.  ;)

Awesome-o-saurus  ;D

Here is some better WIP shots of my Dinos...


I added a guiding system on the main gun and greenstuffed a belt to hold the gun/rider. I also added a saddleback on this side.


I might add some more gear on this side too and I still need greenstuff the stovage on the back and such.


This guy needs much more work. So far he has a huge main laser and some sponson scatter-lasers. I will try and make the weapons on this one cyber connected into the poor guy.

 :D
