That Grot is fantastic! Like the sourcing from his eye!

**lindsay40k**

That is one awesome Grot. I'd love to see more photos taken in more ideal light; there's a lot of detail being obscured by heavy shadow. (I recommend shooting outside on grey overcast day - you get soft white light that way.)

I took the liberty of saving your photos and simulating higher lens exposure in Preview:

**inmygravenimage**

Oh, S-nap! That's the business!

**dakkagrot187**

@rsjake - 1 week at work, and I need another holiday

@Squigsquasher - sorry for the lack of progress, I need to get back into the flow of it.

@Tortured-Robot - thanks, I hop my next OSL job will bee even better on the IW dread.

@lindsay40k - Thank you very much for going to the effort of sorting my pics out. That is awesome. I really need to make a light box, and get a tripod. Glad you like the grot

@dakkagrot187 - Thanks, now get converting

**dakkagrot187**

i have made good progress on it

**Dreadnought96**

Awesome

Looks like a fun project and you are doing a great job. A suggestion for the top mounted speakers: you could use multiple speakers on each side, in multiple sizes, so that it looks a little like a pipe organ. Then you could find some heavy pipe organ music for to use for background music during your battles.

**tipios**

I'm getting back on the models soon, sorry for the long wait!!!!!

**Biohazard**

Superb Tipios is back. Looking forward to your updates.

**Squigsquasher**

Hooray! The thread is back!...

NOW GET ON WIV IT!!!

Just kidding!

**ishkatar**

Welcome back, mate!

**tipios**

Thanks everyone!

Just to get back into things, I thought I'd try another fun model.

The Doom grot 2.

**Rogue Wolves**

he looks really cool! nice head choice!

**GiraffeX**

Its like you've never been away, the grot looks great tipios

**prime12357**

Looking great, as usual

Come to think of it, the new grot looks a lot like a swim coach of mine. The more I look at it the uncannier it gets.....

**Hyenajoe**

Doomgrot 2 is looking good. Have you thought of turning the termie legs to stilts? Like by having the tip of the grot's feet appearing just above the knee junction?

**tipios**

@Rogue Wolves - thanks, that is my fav grot head

@GiraffeX - thanks mate, I can't believe i stopped for so long.

@prime - thanks

does your swim coach flame you up, if you don't train hard enough?

@joe - The termie legs are temporary. I was gona do the legs like my last one, but I like your idea

and I will do it

woooo yeah, really getting back into it!!!!

**tipios**

Just a couple of addons so far.

**Rogue Wolves**

i can see him saying " im a led farmer mother fether "!!! ahh.. linkin osiris is awsome...

**tipios**

@Rogue Wolves - LOL

Trying to get a feel of what I want the defiler cannon to look like.

Also looking for legs for Doom grot!! As Joe suggested, his little grot legs will be attached like stilts. Gona cut them in half and give them knees too.

**Rogue Wolves**

i like the look of that one

**LeBaron**

Pretty sweet dreads. I can't wait to see some more work done on them.
