hello guys

i´m working on this dio since 2 weeks and here is a first "WiP" PIC....
The trygon is my first tyranid kit and i love the details and especially the size......this dude is really huge



detail pics coming soon

Dude, this is going to be so epic, in fact, it already is!

Sweet job. are those ping pong paddles you are using to base these guys with?

If I was you I would pose the Trygon in a more dynamic pose - twisting around the pattle, bursting up from the ground.
Other than that,I love the diorama so far, can't wait to see more!

are those ping pong paddles you are using to base these guys with?

hahahah no...but youre right....it look likes paddles

Very nice so far. I love the basing...


Since this one is a work in progress, I'm moving it over to the Blogs section.

The base is very good ,
but if this is meant to be a Diorama or a Fight Scene , then its ... (forgive me... ) lacking something essential.

Yeh, there is something missing...

Such as?
If you mean actual combat, I disagree. First, because the marine does seem to be shooting, and second, because not every dio has to have actual combat in it.

For diorama to be effective , there has to be a certain minimal amount of interaction between the subject and the surrounding. There are none.

For the 2 subject to be looking at each other like that , i doubt they dont belong to the same diorama or "scene" which i assume they indeed are related.

For a scene to be noted of the effort displayed , there should be some degree of conversion to make the 2 subjects "interact with each other" instead of 2 original posed figures plainly facing each other.

By all means im not saying i can do better ( infact i CANT ) , but i strongly believe that OP have the capabilities of improving this project , and the whole thing would
benefit if the points above are considered.

Further more , a diorama should be considered as a picture that can be worth of a thousand words. But how about taking it further , to tell a tale?
For example , why are they leisurely facing each other like that? what could lead to that?

Is it perhaps missing a floor littered with dead gants between the 2 , which this story shows what leads to this "Final Showdown"
or
Perhaps the Trygon have bursted through some walls , perhaps through the floor , snatched /ate / slash / squash / impale some of the librarian's comrades now its reeling up like a cobra ready to strike like its dinner time?

Its missing the needed element to bring a dramatic effect to the whole thing ( because no doubt there has been effort put into this piece via the base so far atleast ).
Those 2 ideas above are listed in consideration to incase OP want to keep the pose it is.

Hope what i said made some sense :'P

Thanks for your criticism...

What to do you think about the idea to add an extremly wounded space marine to the scene?

Completed the main part of the scriptor today...

Awesome paintjob, can't to see the other half of the diorama.

And by scriptor, you mean Librarian right?

And by scriptor, you mean Librarian right

yes...i forgot that Scriptor is the german word

Not sure that Scriptor doesn't sound better

I can sense an epic Diorama in the making, especially with the positive criticism early on.

Hello guys

this weekend i´ve started painting the trygon...
I really love this mini (even it`s really huge^^) and its a lot of fun to paint it...maybe i will start a tyranid army soon
