Heya All;

Here is a 'watered down' version of my WIP project of a scratchbuilt/kitbashed Gargantuan Squiggoth. By the way, his name is Loodo. (Due to his Loodo-esque jaw line).

I hope you all like what you see. Like I stated above. This is the 'watered down' version of the entire thread that can be found on the-waaagh.com forums.

C&C welcome.

Thanks

holy crap, i looked at the first pic and went "Bah! thats not squiggoth material, thats a shiny toy dinosaur!", and then I went through and now panning from the first pic to the last, it's like a different dino altogether, incredible work.

HOT DAMN!

Proud to be a hobbyist .

I wish I had the freetime to do that.

That is AWESOME. I think I may look into this further.

Totally awesome

how did you make that face?

you'll get a jdd
(jaw drops down)

fantastic work. What did you use to cover the skin? is that supersculpty or some other putty?

Beautiful! Well...in an orky sort of way.

Great job.

Good Lord, that is awesome!!!! I bow down to your greatness.

Heya All;

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

The modelling clay used to cover the skin, and mold the face and legs, is a product called DAS. I have used it on a few different projects and the results are quite good. From the skin/features on this Squiggoth, through to making a tarpaulin/cover for a WarTrukk (think army truck with the green material cover over the rear).

Thanks

wow that is great, you made that dinosaur thing into something like that! i wish someone would teach me how to use that stuff you made his armor with and what is that stuff called?

Seriously nice job.
I, too, had less than high explanations when I saw the base item.
taking that fan-like shield off of his head was about the best move you could have done.
The sculpt-work is near flawless. I love the usage of the small rocks on his torso.

When painted, I looked at it & thought the neck was too long. Now that it is complete, I have changed my mind on that. It's splendid, as well.

About the only think I could say about it is that I wish you'd taken the time to clean the join lines on those turrets mounted to his side.

Still a 5-star job in my book!

It's like a making of a movie monster. *twothumbsup*

I saw the first picture load and thought "Oh no, not another dumb kid using cheap toys in 40k."

Then the other images loaded and my jaw dropped. This may very well be the best conversion I've EVER seen.

Nice. Such an awesome looking conversion, maybe can you take a pic of it with your entire ork force?

Nice touch with the "fist of gork" (at least I assume its gork's ) on the tail, perfect for smashing da' humies!

Like the others, the first thought in my head was "Bah!" when I saw the dino, but the end result is just awesome. Congrats! That'll make an awesome army centerpiece

I want a squiggoth

how much?

1000?
2000?
more?

Fan-freakin'-tastic. Great job!

awsome. It does not even look like the same model anymore.

This is what's traditionally called threadmancy. Digging up a two and a half week old thread to post something of zero substance is rather unnecessary.

Call me a narrowminded egotist but I think praising someone's hard work is a substancial contribution.

Nah- it's not hard to say somethiung a bit more substansive then "neat" or "I like". How about "I like the way you painted the red" or "the shading is excelent on his tooth"?

The best custom Squigg I've ever seen. I'd goo my manties to have three of these!!!

All this thread seems to do lately is attract pointless posts that pull it up from the depths. :p

So, to stop that silliness there's only one solution!
