    So I'm thinking of creating an Engine of the Gods model, but using Mazdamundi as the basis for the conversion(He apparently counts as an EotG in AoS), but i hear his Stegadon is a bigger breed, so I was wondering if anyone has had any luck adding a little extra size to the existing model with bits and/or green stuff.

    I would check out @Jorgik 's blog. He has an awesomely converted stegadon. It isn't necessarily "bulkier" but it does have an awesome tail and pose. And longer legs. And its magnetized. In fact I saved the images on my computer as "jorgik's awesome stegadon."

    :wideyed: Did I mention that it was magnetized? :wideyed:

    Yes, I'd suggest squats, deadlifts, bench press & wide grip weighted chinups/pullups.

    oh.... then no. :oops:

    I'd follow the suggests provided above... consult the mighty @Rikard . No one on the site knows more about green stuff sculpting than him!

    You're forgetting lunges, bent over rows, lateral raises and weighted dips. :couchpotato:

    I need to finish mine, but the good news is (thanks to fimo being mixable with green stuff) I'm confident I can do just that, as I've already made it work on my BFG hive ship scratch build.

    It's a good looking model, except that the front legs seem a little small and underdeveloped, IMHO.

    I got the armybox cylinder magnets 3mm diameter 2mm high. Just placed two under the EoG and other two in the top of the platform. This holds perfectly and you don´t even need to find it place, it just pops on :p.Whatever you do watch for polarity, the first time I used magnets I managed to get my cold one rider flying over his mount ;).

    I was trying for a while to get a contained magnetic field for my star seer, but never could get it to work right.
