I feel like Nobz are the unsung heroes in an Ork army, and that is one "proppa Nob!"
You added a lot of character into that mini

**Dr H**

Thanks KC. High praise from such an Orkish aficionado as yourself.

**Dr H**

As if to answer the questions; "what would happen to a Kroot if you fed it birds?" and "how do you handle a weapon if your arms have evolved into wings?"

Converted, re-posed and with sculpted wings.

Thanks.

I really like the eldar nids hunter model.

Cheers CB.

And one more thing I've completed recently.

What started as a few rough bits of wood screwed together, a 1:1 scale Star Trek Original series Type-2 Phaser.

That's all for now. Stay tuned.

That looks amazing! I know it's a small detail, but his rawhide/buckskin wrap looks perfect. Thank you for sharing.

**Dr H**

Thanks very much, makeitorky.
Was a fairly simple blend of sand and "bone" paints. Glad it worked so well.

**MeatShield**

I like the diorama. Good job.

**Dr H**

Thanks, Meatshield.

LOVE IT - is it a scratchbuild or a legot toy?

**Dr H**

Thanks again, MeatShield.

Thanks Skinflint.

Doc, that is pure unalloyed genius

**Dr H**

Thanks again, Skinflint.
The putty is very thin over a polystyrene foam core; to keep it light enough for the magnet to work well.

Love it. And I will be nicking the idea, although I can't claim I will be able to achieve the same quality of results!

**Dr H**

Good luck, Skinflint.
You can see some earlier wip of the same technique from when I made the Piranha plant in my Dr H blog: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/3030/549077.page#11377381

There's just lots of sanding to get the final shape.
