That looks amazing Flemtop but for some reason I can't get the picture of that dinosaur from Toy Story out of my head when I look at it!

That's really impressive! Totally a case where the end result is far more than just the sum of it's parts.

Outstanding work. Looks better than a kit I reckon.

I actually snorted when I saw the base was a toy dinosaur, but I'll be darned if that isn't an impressive build. Me and my boys might just have to pinch it.

Thanks for the kind words guys - really appreciate it  I think I am going to go with a base and will come up with a few ideas to add momentum and destruction to the piece. I really enjoyed the scratchbuilding so might try and cobble together an Ork airship next. I also have two looted wagons waiting in the wings. So stay tuned!

The plasticard and paint job is fantastic! To be honest not a fan of the dinosaur though. either way nice job!

This is just absolutely awesome. The only thing I'm not 100% sold on is how you changed the eyes of the dinosaur. I think you were trying to make it look like it was sneering or fearsome, but I think it almost looks like he's sleepy. I sort of wish I could see it with the original eyes for comparison.
My absolute favorite part of this build is the sponsons hanging on chains from the howdah. What an awesome design idea!

Wow, at first I was cross at you for abusing a ceratopsian, but now I just can't be mad. that's beautiful, and your card work is superb.

It looks great. I too was a little unconvinced when I saw what it started out as, but that just goes to show not to judge a book by its cover (or a conversion by its base!).
Fantastic job, really inspiring
