Crooked Dice: The Weed - NOW IN STORE
« on: August 03, 2015, 04:46:02 PM »
Here's a preview of our next release - the mighty and terrible Weed. This vengeful vegetable stands approximately 80mm high and has been sculpted by George Fairlamb. It's a resin cast and was painted by Andrew Taylor.

We can't quite decide on what's the front or back, so answers on postcard please.









Once we have the office move sorted out we'll make this available - so maybe out later this month if everything goes to plan.

The first pic depicts the front end. It's obvious from the bracket fungi which always grow on the left limbs knee (and never on the right) of viriditas ambulans.

As a Dutchman I can acknowledge that this is what weed looks like.  :D

In all seriousness, looks like great for pulp games!

Wow!  That's impressive. It reminds me of the plant mutant in the latest version of Youthful Genetically -altered Shinobi Semi-Aquatic Reptiles.

Aren't they both side views?
The long tentacle type pieces are not arms, it's a trunk and a tail - like an elephant.

No, no, no, Vanvlak is obviously confused by the scabbug that only LOOKS like bracket fungi. See, you can tell it's the other way by the manner of its leaning back to look upwards. These 'fellows' really love to bask in the moonlight.

Tentacles, indeed. *harrumph*

Front and back are animal concepts.  Down with our heterotrophic oppressors!

Oh - nice model!

Every time I see this, I just think it needs a John Constantine standing next to it :)  Well done, though!

Whilst I agree with the tentacular harrumph, I must protest about the scabbug comment. The middle one on the left upper appendage IS a bracket fungus, only the other 4 are scabbugs.

Speciesist!  ;D
Oh - nice model too  :D :D
