Re: Kitbash - Fighting Minotaurs, new pics 2023-05-20
Thanks B-A.
I have 8 kits completed for wonderfest, but my goal is to also finish this Minotaur bash, Ymir bash, and the howling werewolf bash for wonderfest. Gonna be challenging ….
Continuing to rough in the front legs on the rearing Minotaur.

I reworked the back lower legs of the 4 legged Minotaur
Started roughing in 2 legged Minotaur’s clutching left arm just enough to get positioning were I like it

Re: Kitbash - Fighting Minotaurs, new pics 2023-05-25
Hah, thanks Ian and B-A!
I am definitely feeling the pressure of trying to complete this bash by end of next week.
As you both well know , this gives me absolutely no time for my usual 3 to 6 total re-works ….
Good news is that I did fill in the left arm a bit more and overall Minotaur positioning seems to work well.

Re: Kitbash - Fighting Minotaurs, new pics 2023-05-25
2 legged Minotaur changes :
Shortened and slimmed down the left arm and hand , and adjusted how hand grasps 4 legged Minotaur neck.
The neck grasping is not as tight as I would like, but I cannot make it too tight as I would not be able to remove Minotaurs from each other
Lengthening and sharpening claws on right hand
Created foot peg to stabilize him on the stand
4 legged Minotaur changes:
Roughed in front left leg
Thinned down mid section of back left leg
Beefed up chest
Lots of refining and detailing to do on both.
Very happy to be back bashing now versus all that recent painting

Shortened and changed the angle of the left front leg of the 4 legged Minotaur.
Added some details to the left arm of the 2 legged Minotaur.

They look like two stop-motion creations about to do combat.

You nailed it B-A, that is exactly the look that I am for going for ! My humble tribute to Mr. Harryhausen.
Started working the arms on the 4 legged Minotaur.
Primed the 2 legged Minotaur to get a better feel for how it is coming together.

Re: Kitbash: Minotaurs, new pics 2023-06-04
Added some veins and bumps to the Minotaur arms for some visual interest.
These details are a bit exaggerated, but I think I they work ok with this Ray Hahrryhausen vibe bash

The front left leg was way out of proportion.
So cut the front lower legg off and shortened it, and narrowed down and shortened the upper thigh.
Tons of refining and detailing left to do on this guy..

CUTING, SHORTENING, AND NARROWING
