The fleshy coloured thing is a psudonatural hippo inspired by the Half life bullsquid. The Mekthulhu is a combination of an old school epic titian, Burgerking's Doc-Oc toy's tentacles, some random bits and GI Joe weapons. It was intended for classic Battletech scale, and yes, those are supposed to be ICBMs. The grey tree like thing is a homemade Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath, made mostly of hot glue over pipe cleaners with hooves taken from various plastic figs. The black and brown fig was a toy from the Rumble Wars line of which I have 9 primed, I cut out the gun barrel in its left hand and replaced with a Clix battletech chainsaw. I modded the other ones in similar ways. These will be painted as alien supersoldiers. In the back you can see an unfinished Pheonix, podplant, a few other figs and a stripped & primed Blade heroclix getting the heck out of town.

This primed Resident Evil Mr. X has the head of a marvel heroclix kingpin, slightly filed down atop the body of an Indyclix Major Maxim.

Here's a RAFM Yig after adding longer fangs, I still have to putty the tips of the arms to match up with the snake heads I attached from a Mageknight hydra.

Frank, you are unwell in the best sense of the word. Marlon Brando in "The Island of Dr. Moreau" unwell.

Here is some stuff i have on my desk ATM. I wanted to see how well my new fuji's autofocus worked on macro shots.

For the first 2 I held the camera by hand, the rest were done by setting the camera on the same surface as the fig
Dark young, Ultraman monster, large robed biped & Fungal critter taking biped form to wear power armor.

I prefer yours to the Heresy one. If you've got a robed evil lookin' dude, you shouldn't be able to see his face...unless there's fangs involved. Then just the mouth and chin should be visible IMNSHO.

I'm not so sure I'd want to get hit by a missile with a "dog brain" AI.

The Dark lord on a poker chip is just a fast food toy of Mr. Palpatine. I drilled/cut out the facial area.

Here is an action figure I am working on at the moment.

http://img290.images...athgiant7bm.jpg

Unsure of what colour the snake will be, I want the weapon to look midway between staff and great axe.

The belt gem is being repainted because of a bad botch.... I may replace with a craft gem now.

It is a toy from "Big lots". It might also apear at KB toys, macfruegals, and other el cheapo stores. Chap-Mei made it, same manufacturer as the "Police Vs. Bad Guyz", "Dino quest", and a few other toy lines. The line is the second fantasy line. first one is a pre dark age, hyborian esque [tech free]he-man rip off line, This one is a knight in armor, castle and dragon line. This guy has a skull for a head, but, i like him better closer to a ring wraith.

The more it gets praised, the more it gets posted. I'll do image cleanup soon and compress the old images to zip files or thumbnails.

The bottom of the staff is supposed to be a fossilized shark tooth. It did not turn out as well as i would have liked, but it will do.

Gems were paint on gloss & ink over like coloured metallics, with edges getting copper drybrushed.

Question:

Are this snake's fangsa bit short & should they be replaced?. I would likly use needles or thumb tack tips. Should I go for it or are the fangs long enough?
