Hi all a bit of an update on the lizard. I have been chipping away at this guy in between the helmet project. I've settled on some 12mm eyes which I think work best for the lizard. I've rebuilt the beak (more than a few times :blink: ) and reshaped the face a wee bit. I've finished the ears which i am happy with. It seems to be a rare thing for me to build something and be happy with it first go :ohwell:

I've begun to put pieces in the mold, the ruff, the tail piece and about 30 separate pieces that will be glued on afterward to get a suitably bushy feel.

any c&c most welcome

hey all I have finally finished molding the lizard and have had a chance to do some assembly and paint of the master. I'm not finish with paint yet a few more passes and then it will serve as a good reference for future paint jobs.

I based it out in white then a pretty vibrant yellow and then went in with a red. It's a wee bit more orange than what I was hoping for but I am going to cool down the paint job with some acrylics. Overall I've really enjoyed this project and the end result looks good.

The customising potential of this guy is endless I'm going to have to make another one right away. I'm quite keen on painting an albino lizard for some reason :blink:. I'm going to try and make my own eyeballs too out of clear casting resin and tints.

as always comments and critique most welcome

ha ha awesome thanks MG :). I've finished the paint job, it's pretty good. I smashed out a Star warsy base for it at work today so I might have to sort out a decent photo shoot of the beast with you sometime to get some good pics.

I'll take a couple of quick pics to show where it's at tomorrow
