I needed some memorable baddies for my D&D game. Pound store and gift shop toys to the rescue!
Before:

Pardon my poor photography, but you get the idea. More details and pictures on my blog:

There's quite a difference between "before" and "after", I wouldn't have said you can get such good results from plastic toys.

Very nice skeletal dino/rider. A suggestion - maybe slightly readjust te angle of the rider so he points the lance downwards.

Yeah, he wound up leaning too far back for my liking; it's basically to do with the shape of the critter's back making it hard for him to 'sit' anywhere else. If I do it again, I'll build some kind of a saddle to give him a more natural sitting position. At present, I can't just tilt the lance down because his leg gets in the way.

I like the ogre-like creature, the difference between before and after is striking! He kind of reminds me of the "God" from the old Conan movie.

He does a bit, doesn't he? It's the horn, I guess.
If I still played Warhammer, I'd ugly him up a bit and make him some kind of Nurgle critter; the three-headed mace and some of the other symbols on the model seem to me to lend themselves to a Nurgle look.

Very cool. I like the top one the most. Great conversion work.
-
Great work. i have that one eyed, horned deamon thing painted up as a bronze statue. It will appear in games of Frostgrave. IIRC the same company did a couple of other monsters, have you worked your magic on any of them?
-
The one eyed thing reminds me of the demon in Conan the destroyer.

Very nice - if I do half as well with the robot I found I'll be happy 8) 8)

VERY WELL DONE! I really like the way you did the Big Scaly Guy.
