im looking to scratch build a mech version of a patriarch ill use the measurements from the broodlord/patriarch model i was wondering if the model as a whole including base would be the correct size or do i disregard the the base and just use the actual creature for measurements sake?

if anyone has seen the movie deathmachine with brad dourif youll get the idea of what im going to build

mech legs hinged and will be fleshed out (free hand cult carvings wiring etc green stuff)

upper arm pieces again will be fleshed out(more detail with green stuff and free hand cult carvings)

[Thumb - IMG_20220109_204924.jpg]
Mid section arms will get more detail via green stuff and wiring

upper head piece deliberately smoothed like a xenomorph with sabre teeth to be added as well as another layer of green stuff

the patriarch is for reference to size my model is chunkier but height and width are the same mine just looks beefy
