Tentacles!

[Sheerluck Holmes]

Home-made ones I did yonks and yonks ago from Milliput and the chopped-up tube from inside a biro for the suckers.



Paint jobs are a bit pants, but they were fun to make.

this is awesome!  I was disappointed with my effort to make some tentacles, but now I am downright ashamed of what I tried to make.

Whoa...
That's going to make for some epic encounters.
Awesome link, thanks a lot!

I don't think I've ever seen him before and hot damn is he ever lovely!
Rare though.

[True]

I have that squid mini, and I never thought he was that rare. He is in a pack called Perseus and the Kraken I think and I see it come available often enough...in fact it may still be available from Iron Wind or whatever the european ral Partha is calling itself these days. Great sculpt though.



Here are some tentacles I am working on as they menace a pair of shipwrecked dwarves. They are made from Sculpey and will eventually get painted and based for use in Pygmy Horror.

No idea how big it is, but $19.99 tells me it's of a decent size.

It's one of their 54mm display figures.

I've been rooting through the Lost Minis Wiki when I found this chap, the "Nautilus, Giant Squid" which was a Barry Minot figure.

It's not very pretty, and I doubt that you can still get ahold of one, but it sure as hell would be a useful beastie.
I really wish I could give some more info on it, but it's just another of those dark eldritch secrets lost and better left forgotten. 

Then good old Grenadier has this awesome Kraken.

Not enough shelled cephalopods out there.

I'd forgotten all about the Barry Minot figures - date back to the mid 1970s so I doubt very much that you'll find them now.

[The Gray Ghost]

I'm glad I ran across this thread I've been wanting to make a tentacled monster that lives in side a large trash bin.

[BigLee]

I made my own tentacle from greenstuff to decorate a Cthulhu Mythos investigator model I recently painted...


Tentacles are good.

[achab]

That's a cool base!
There is also a RAFM tentacle man:



And since I found RAFM great C. was not nearly tentacled enough, I sligthly converted it:



A.

[kidterminal]

Wow great conversion.

Found this horrid old Reaper mini hiding from me in the back of their archives.

A throw away as far as I'm concerned, but he's got some tentacles.
Good long ones, at that.

Sorry everyone, I am soooo new to this type of forum.  I am basically here because my father owned a Hobby Shop from the 1960's thru early 1980's and in his stock I found some Barry Minot Fantasy Figures , including Nautilus here. I have 12 lot s of these figures online and was wondering if anyone could give me any insight on the God/Goddesses, Amazons, Greek Warriors and Monsters range - ie : Medusa and Nautilus some sort of two headded monster and weathered tree.
