    I know it will look a million times better but things like that don't bother me so much, I'll probably end up doing it, as long as they look cool as a group on the table :)

    I have no doubt that they will look good on the table.

    Just another little update, think I finished the head for the first sauralophodon.

    Check it out:

    That looks really good. Your conversion is simply amazing. The only thing I would suggest is to clean up those mold lines on the edges.

    Thanks Nightbringer, once I'm happy with the model and finshed I'll clean it up, I find getting rid of mould lines the most tedious part of modelling, I hate doing it!

    Your conversions are looking great! Can't wait to see the models once painted.

    Agreed, it is extremely time consuming and boring.

    Thanks Kultak. I'm super busy at work at the moment, trying to find time to get these done to a stage where I'd be happy with them.

    Just done the second ones head piece and also added to the slanns palanquin. Found a shot I forgot to post of the two together, before I put the head pieces on. What you think?:

    Once I'm fully happy with them, then I'll clean the mould lines (can't wait :argh: :shifty:), then get them painted. I fear it's going to be a long slog.

    Wow... I'm totally blown away. Those are a couple of very lovely models you have created. Your converting work is top notch.

    I must say you are definitely making the Lizardmen look good!

    WOW! Really great work! I especially like that each of them has it's own position... Not like when you field three stegadons and they (beside color) look the same.

    Thanks nightbringer, slowly getting there.

    Cheers Kultak, Lizardmen look good already, just wanted something a bit different, and I love dinos :)

    Thanks Tom, I like that too, will probably give these the same colours so was looking for different poses.

    Ohhh dear, instead of trying to finish these guys I've gone and gotten another darn parasauralophus :) and this guy is huge! will be using him for a bastiladon.

    The shields on the side of the head was a great idea. :)

    Thanks n810, tried using skink and saurus shields but they just didn't look right, then I found those from the terradon kit.
