Troglodon part 1

Take the head and tail and assemble together, when dry take the head and cut it square at the bottom.

View attachment 37352

Now stick this to the 120 oval base, take the large fin section and use it to place where the tail would go, leave a small gap and glue the tail to the base, now glue the fin in place, you may need to trim it to sit flat and you can cut a bit of sprue to support the head and fin, like below.

Leave it to dry over night before starting to sculpt the body.

Once dry take some modelling putty/clay and fill under the fin to make a body shape, don’t go past the scales in thickness and it does not need to be precise, leave to fully dry,pic below.

We all know the SC box is good value but can we make it better value, I think so and hopefully here I will show you how.

Everything used will come from the SC box, minimal conversion skills needed only extra things you will need are

1 120mm oval base
1 40mm round base

This tutorial is based around building the Carnasour with the scar vet rider and the Troglodon Oracle not being used on the Troglodon.

So in the box you get the following usable units,

10 Warriors (2 spare)
5 Knights (3 spare)
1 Carnosaur or Troglodon

After this tutorial you will have the following,

10 Warriors
5 Knights
1 Carnosaur with Scarvet rider
1 Troglodon
1 Astrolith Bearer
1 Oldblood on foot
1 Sunblood
1 Scarvet on Coldone (you could make 3)

I can see your face your all thinking how is that possible, well dive in and find out. ;)

@Crowsfoot you might want to add that you need greenstuff as well to the main oost

I'm very Happy that I find this post. Thanks a lot for the great advices.

For the astrolith bearer I'll try a Aztec Coin from a 3D printer. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2447167).
Asked a friend to print it.

I'll post a picture when I build him.

Hey there is actually an astrolith bearer banner thing specifically designed on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3389099

If you have access to a 3D printer, there are loads of files that can aid in the maximization for the start collecting box. Here's a thread being maintained here for ideas:http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/articles-to-print-in-3d-lizardmen-seraphon.22394/

Wow. Thanks for the links. :happy:

The Banner one is very very nice. Searched for the wrong words I guess.

Do you need to use modelling dedicated putty under the green stuff or could a cheap ass like me get away with bluetac or something and then greenstuff on the outside.

Bluetac will work but it will remain soft but once your greenstuff sets it should be fine.
 
I used some rigid wire mesh from the DIY store rather than putty for the underlying structure and it worked charms - you can shape it quite well and then superglue it to the base and dino bits before applying the green stuff over it.

Pro Tip: I have seen Julie Guthrie do this exact technique when sculpting dragon wings.

It is what the pros do.
