**Camkierhi**

@EDC Thank you sir.
@ Gits yup feels good.

Progress....

Apologies for the terrible picatoures...

**Viktor von Domm**

Man, wish I knew to whom this squiggoth reminds me in looks and stance...seems frighteningly familiar...something from the telly...

But cool composition, I like how you include that soft flesh idea into all things orky nowadays!

**Cleatus**

Squiggoth is coming along nicely!

**Gitsplitta**

Wow... paint makes all the difference! Nicely done!

**Anpu-adom**

I feel that the straps are missing something, but paint does do wonders.

**Camkierhi**

Thanks all.

Plating....went for scale mail kinda....

Then iron plates....

Painting and distressing...

With prototype howda...

Thanks for looking......

**Gitsplitta**

I absolutely love the way this project is going! Just my opinion... but I think the howdah is too big. Really distracts from the critter (which is a shame).

**GrimDork**

I agree, especially if that's meant to be metal. If it was a skeleton of wood or something that may not be too large, but solid chunk of metal would squish the poor guy.

**Anvildude**

Or a skeleton of bones. Why not make a Squiggoth howdah out of the bones of Squiggoths that came before it?

**Gitsplitta**

Might be cool if you could pick up a cheap, skeleton dino somewhere. Invert the rib cage and build a platform & rail in it.

**Camkierhi**

Always my thought that this would be Snakebite Clan. Think i may have a go at that idea. Would definately fit in. Thanks

**Theophony**

Someofthose metal plates need road sign images painted on them.

**mxwllmdr**

Fantastic. I absolutely love it.

**Anpu-adom**

Straps no longer need something. It looks fantastic. Made out of cardboard you say?

**Camkierhi**

@ Theo, OK that's a given, will do.
@mxwllmdr, Thank you sir.
@ Anpu-adom, yup cereal box cardboard. Cut into strips, superglued in place, wash over with pva, badabing!

This is spoilered for you Anpu-adom, I am too embarrassed to air it openly.

Spoiler:

Tonight made some bones......

Thanks for looking in.

**Gitsplitta**

You're insane. God love ya!

**Ruglud**

Looks like you enjoyed your dinner - no meat left on those bones

**Anpu-adom**

Thanks, Cam. I may have to use that technique in some of my own building. My kids go through enough cereal, I would be able to bling out several tables of terrain with that technique.
Them bones, them bones, them dry dry bones.

Looking good.

**Solar_lion**

How ambitious indeed.

**Camkierhi**

Thank you all, thought you knew I was mad!

Well what do you think of this then?

Thoughts appreciated..

**Viktor von Domm**

insane...

is the material sturdy enough? i once made a tree from FIMO and it broke...so...

but looks stunning!!!

**Gitsplitta**

Mad, yes... completely bonkers... not until now!

I LOVE that Cam! Fits the model perfectly!

**Solar_lion**

SO Much better.. nice save!

**Theophony**

Indeed it is a much better looking howdah. Great job on the bones.

**shasolenzabi**

Just how big is that squiggoth?

**Camkierhi**

Thanks all.

Adding a little detail, still very WIP.....

Scale shot...

Thanks for looking in.

**Viktor von Domm**

brilliant work!
by the way, although the plating is super...i just love the eyes of the big one!

**Anvildude**

That looks amazing.

A pelvis? You're a brave, brave Ork.

**Gitsplitta**

Love the detail. That's the right size for a regular Squiggoth, which is a very useful critter!

**lone dirty dog**

Nice work Cam splendid conversion, I was not sure where you were heading with the plating at first but adding the sign post designs is genius.

On top of tha creating the bone rig was epic, I like that you wrapped the bones together rather than plates.

Add to all this out the rather super paint scheme ( love the slightly pink against the browny orange ) great job mate I think I would like to try something like this one day.

What was the initial model you used by the way
