Hi guys, just wanted to share with you my biggest Tyranid model to date, hes finally completed.

Far too many pictures for me to post here, so i'll link you to my blog post here (http://hivesplinterborlin.blogspot.com/2011/02/bring-in-gargantuan-bugs.html)

heres a teaser to get the juices flowing (Highly Toxic and corrosive of course)

Fantastic job mate. I especially like the details on the base. If I had to make a criticism (and this is really pedantic) it would be that there possibly should be a grove where the Scythe/talon cut in to the floor. Even with that said the whole model looks amazing.

cheers man, yeah thats a good idea, I wonder why forgeworld didnt do that themselves as the scythe is modelled this way and the base is supplied with the slot for it. I'll have a look at how hard that would be to do, its pretty tough resin, I did some minor chomping away at the base to model on the pile of skulls so I'd need to do it with a dremel or something :eek:

thx for the feedback

Maybe you could build up some sand around the claw with white glue or something, rather than cutting away at the base?

lol, thats the kind of common sense I obviously don't have when tired haha. well I did plenty of filling around the rippers and the pile of skuls to blend them into the base, so building up a bit around the scythe should be no problem at all. I'll look into it when i get down to adding the patchy flock I've forgotten (as always) to add.

cheers!
