Not much I can add to my comments on the other thread - simply my favorite of the kitbashes that you've made - so far! :wink:

Looks amazing, great work! It must feel really good to slap the 'finished' label on it.

I was very conflicted about seeing that particular Death Dealer model kitbashed, since it's one of my grail kits. I have to hand it to you...the end result is outstanding!

Thank you Loborex.

Stormheart, I have 2 of the original Deathdealer on horse kits by Chris Gabrish, which is why I had the flexibility to bash one of the DDs.
I plan to add wings to the left over horse.

I added 2 more pics to help show the size of those kits. They are pretty big.

Death dealer on Hell Hound is about 24 inches long, by 20 inches tall (to top of arm)

Demogorgon is about 20 inches tall by 18 inches wide .

Beautiful paintwork Joe! The colors! Great posing of the figures too, imparts a real sense of motion.
Your modeling skills are prodigious, you have created a real feast for the eyes… as usual!

Thanks Trek!

I am currently modifying the bases for these guys.
Making Demigorgon base higher.
Creating a middle connecting base so that I can display them together at Wonderfest .

You can see all the work in progress pics for these kitbashes in the Kustomizers section of this clubhouse.
