Very nice. I painted one in my December batch (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=14990.msg181963#msg181963), and this particular thing took possibly longer than the rest together. The difficult part was following the canonical description without making it look like "a yellow part glued to a grey part glued to a green part". Muted tones and some blending were essential. You have made the overall effect work smoothly. Respect for that.

The story is a classic too, of course. The feeling of getting neck-deep in major trouble is immense. Creepy stuff.

Very nice work.  You and I may be the ONLY folks to attach the wings that way.  Most everyone else attaches them the opposite way up.  I think "our" way looks MUCH more alien and wonderful.

That's very nice.  You've taken a goofy looking creature and actually made it feel 'real'.
