I started this thread in Workbench but as my squig is now finished i decided it belongs here.
At THS wargames club evening a couple of weeks ago Georg, a friend of mine (known as G.ork here in the forum) put on a great dungeon squighopper race.

Anyway the game was so much fun (my goblin was only thrown off and eaten by his sguig 3 times  lol) that i decided that i needed my own goblin jockey.
I had some old night goblins lying around but no squigs but i think even with only a little talent a squig out of greenstuff must be possible.(Only 2 legs, no arms, face on body and simple shape).
The night goblin was originaly a standing figure and i just cut and filed away until it could sit on the squig.
Heres the result.

That's awesome :)

Are the rules for this available? I love the idea of a Squig racing game!

Wonderful!  I will add to the request for rules for those of us who are too far away geographically to attend your event?
