Nice idea. And nice bear. Where does it come from?

Looks great like the ideas put forward in the "Leviathan" books by Scott Westerfield,

Its a Grizzly Bear produced by Schleich which makes a lot of pre-painted plastic animals. Got it off Amazon for about 5 GBP.

I think the world created in the book series lends itself perfectly for gaming. I'm modifying rules from Contemptible Little Armies (an amazing WWI rules set) and Valor & Steel & Flesh (a good VSF rules set)

Schleich also does a lot of 1:48 prepainted toy dinosaurs that are absolutely ace for using in 28 mm pulp/lost world/sci-fi wargaming (a bit on the large side, but who can tell?).

They also have a fantasy range with prepainted dragons fit for fielding in any fantasy setting. My daughter bought one that I intend to borrow now and then 

I've often been thinking that it would be nice if they'd extend the 1:48 range with all kinds of animals.

On topic:

Is the rider going to have visible legs?

Is the rider going to have visible legs?

Unfortunately not. This is my first time using the sculpting clay and I'm not good enough to sculpt the right shape legs. I also let it dry and after the fact thought about sticking the old legs in the stuff to make it look like they where coming through holes. Bit of a learning curve
