That undead giant is incredible. I have never seen so realistic rust.
And the slug - Words fail me!
Utterly brilliant.
I don\'t know whether to be a good example or a horrible warning.

That slug is awesome. Looks really real.

The skeleton is cool, I'd like it more if the armour was looser though.

Brilliant - saw someone elses giant slug on Frothers (ooh err that didn't sound right!  :o) Fantastic mini and an amazing paint job! I want one - don't know what for but I want one!

Am I right in thinking you've based it on a Limax maximus or otherwise more commonly known as a Leopard Slug...  ;)
Have you seen how these chaps mate - remember seeing them on a David Attenborough documentary - wouldn't want to be underneath two of the giant variety in the throes of passion!  ;D

Loving the rust on the undead giant too - you'll have to give us some tips!  :D

Also love (that is, am creeped out by) the slug.  But what's the circular hole on its right side?
Back from the dead, almost.

Karsten, I've got an old boot for you. It has a history!

Nice slug though. I didn't get the picture with the grass until I figured out it was a model.

I looooooove Bob Olley miniatures, so obviously I love that skeleton (giant).

Man, I thought the second slug photo was a real one you'd used as reference for your paint job!

Good stuff.

Fantasy is not really my thing so I am just stumbling on this now. I did not think you could top your Nosferatu board, but I was wrong. Everything about this from the concept through to the life-like slug are fantastic. I never thought I would say this but you elevate a simple game/hobby to true art.
