2024-09-15; new pics page 1; modified neck, arms , and tail

Modifying Demigorgon 3d printed model from Lord of the Print and significantly enlarged for me by Magecraft miniatures

Removed the tongues, will sculpt new shorter tongues
Slimmed down neck and under jaw
Instead of tentacle arms , using heavily modified forearms and claws from Xenomorphus Rex kit
Extending tail using one of the arms tentacles from this print

Just roughed in these change to start, lots of refining and detailing to do
Trying something different, since the legs are double jointed, I am making arms double jointed too…not sure if I will keep this design…

BEFORE




NOW

I am not sure this is exactly a lot easier than the dueling dragons bash, but if you say so ...

Agree with replacing the tentacles with the arms. The obvious tail extension with one of the tentacle arms is a good call.

Is that guy riding the critter opposite one of your earlier bashes? That looks a lot like a critter that I remember you bashing into something in the last couple of years ...

[barad_dur]

Thanks!
Yes, the death dealer is from a Chris Gabrish DD on horse kit, but now mounted on custom sized and modified 3d print Stygian Guard hound

[bucketfoot-al]

And unpainted too I note. Because, of course, you're waiting to finish bashing this antagonist before you paint them BOTH - right?

The paintbrush is your friend, Joe. (And mine.)

[barad_dur]

Hah, well with friends like my paint brushes who needs enemies

[overspray]

Nothing wrong with the original, but I sure like your mods.

As for paint brushes, well, I never met one who was a friend....

[barad_dur]

Thank you overspray!

Thanks for watching this bash Steve!

Adding spikes to tail for more visual interest and attitude

[bucketfoot-al]

Absolute killer! Keep going!

[barad_dur]

Thanks Vlad!

Added some more spikes along the thigh muscles to tie the leg design into the back and tail .

Adding all these spikes is a very slow and tedious process (and so is painting them!) but I think they really make a difference.

[Squidy53]

Fantastic. Yes, I think you're right about the spikes. Absolutely worth it.

Adding spikes to tail for more visual interest and attitude

A lack of visual interest and attitude is not something your bashes can ever be accused of... In this case the term "hyperaggressive" comes to mind. What a nasty SOB this beastie is.

[barad_dur]

Thanks steve!
“Hyperaggressive” and “Nasty SOB” are exactly the vibes that I am shooting for with this guy

[LOBOREX]

Great work so far.

[bucketfoot-al]

Wait what? He has two heads? How in blazes did I miss that before?

I agree with everyone else, the spikes really give it both visual interest and a nasty edge!

[tay666]

This is so interesting.
So many cool details on this beast.
This gonna be lots of fun to watch.

[barad_dur]

Thank you LOBOREX, ,Vlad and Trevor!

I am going to make the base for this guy insert into the base for death dealer on hound bash so I can display them together or separate

[barad_dur]

Threw on some primer to see it all tied together.
Still some refining and detailing to do.

[bucketfoot-al]

Looking good Joe.

PS you know of course you make me nervous every time you put one of your huge bashes on that ledge!

Now I will do the same thing sometimes on the railing of the deck in the back. However that's a drop of maybe 6 ft into grass, and the vast majority of my kits that I take out there are vinyl, which is a lot more forgiving.
