    Someone asked about the Troglodon's dimensions some months ago and I quickly searched for the thread.
    Here they are:
    L:24cm
    W:9.5cm
    H:16cm
    The carnos are as wide as the Troggy and a cm or two taller I think, and a tiny bit shorter (because of the neck).

    @Robertxtrem once measured his Dread Saurian, here it is:

    It's 14inches from his head to the furthest part of his tail. Bear in mind it bends round so straightened out would be longer.
    His tallest spike is 7 inches from the ground.
    His body is about 3 inches thick at it's thickest.
    Back leg is 4 inches tall, front is 3inches.
    Head is 3 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.


    I can measure the Steggy and Basti when I am home.
    But both are only a cm or two longer than their bases, which are 12cm long, and around 8cm wide and equally tall. The Steggy is probably a bit taller.

    Fantastic! Thank you. This will help trying to build stuff from the ground up rather then spending the cash on the actual models.

    Always excited for scratch builds!
    (keep in mind you cannot play them in GW stores or at GW events though)

    Yeah I know, but we don't have any GW stores or events where I live. Just a few mates playing casual games. Oh and don't get to excited. I've been away from the hobby for 16 years and I've never made a model in my life. But go big or go home I say :p
     
    Paradoxical Pacifism and Aginor like this.

    Thanks! Hopefully I will have some results based on this information within the next year.

    Don't get your hopes up. As I stated above, I've never actually modeled anything before. But I'll keep you guys posted non the less. I'm usually a "think about it alot for ages, then buy everything and do the work in a day or two" kind of guy. Only problem is that the "think about it a lot" phase tend to take forever.

    Trust me - just because you’ve never done it before doesn’t mean you can’t :)
    When you get round to doing it just commit, literally think about what you want to do and get on with making it real - don’t lose faith if it isn’t going quite to plan - you can always add/take away as you go and if in doubt ‘practise’
    For an example of my own, my first attempt at green stuff; took me two days but I was extremely pleased with myself :)
