Winged Hive Tyrant Conversion

I put the finishing touches on the weapon arms, which included filling in the rest of the spaces on the devourers, and puttying around the shoulders where the magnets join on. I also repositioned one of the scytal arms at the shoulder, as with both scytal arms pointing directly forwards, it looked like he was blowing a raspberry…

Next up, I finished repositioning and puttying up the fleshhooks, and finished filling and smoothing the lower back vanes (Still need to bulk out the frontmost vanes) . I also drilled a couple of 2mm holes under the second arm socket, glued in a small magnet, and then puttied over the hole…

Then, I grabbed a couple of monstrous creature Toxin Sacs, drilled a 1mm hole in the underside, and glued a small piece of steel wire in there, cutting it off flush with the plastic and adding a little putty to neaten it up…

So, when you place the Toxin Sacs against the sides of the torso, the steel inside the sacs is grabbed by the magnets, and you have a set of Toxin Sacs that can be added or removed as needed, for use with whichever arms the Tyrant is currently wearing.

To fit onto the Tyrant legs, the torso needed a pin. So, as well as filling on the bottom of the ribcage, I drilled a hole in the Tyrant waist, and added a pin on the bottom of the torso. This will be filled in and detailed to match the texture around the waist.

So now, he goes together looking like this:

Did a little more on the wing, smoothing down the outside vane, and adding some detail to the ‘hand’:

The outside vane still needs to be smoothed down a little more, and then I can start on the underside.

Still to be done: attaching the head and puttying some detail in around the base of the neck, the underside of the wing, filling and smoothing the foremost back vane, attaching the body to the legs, finishing off the base, and coming up with something sexy (and removable) for Adrenal Glands and an Implant Attack.
