An alternative name for this display is Avatar 1884!

I am going for a VSF gaslight game which captures the essence of the film Avatar without copying it too much.

This gives me the artistic freedom to make a flying Knarloc. If I wanted to be closer to the film Tarok I probably would have just gone with the whole GW High elf dragon and modified it slightly, extra eyes etc. etc.

Cheers

Fuzzy

Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

Very nice. I look forward to seeing him soon.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Okay some more pictures of the Tarok/Knarloc conversion.

I have now finished the green stuff sculpting and its ready for its undercoat





I did a slight repositioning of one of the legs to make it look more like the creature is in flight and I had to resculpt the foot once the base was removed








The next pictures should be of the finished painted Tarok!

Cheers

Seemless putty-pushing resulting in a great result.
Looking forward to updates on this.

Okay, here is the finished result.

I do need to apply the army painter dip to complete the shading but couldn't wait to show you guys. I'm pretty happy with how it has turned out!  :D

Now need to make a base for it. The Tarok is mounted on an antenna so I can move it up and down for the different altitudes.

Cheers

Fuzzy.












Next update the floating Halleujah mountains!!  :D

That is awesome!!!!  :-* :-* :-*

I would be tempted to varnish as is as the colours look "comic book/Roger Dean" in a very very good way already
