Re: Kitbash: Winged Ymir, new pics 2023-04-22
Thanks B-A!
Actually, the thoughts behind this design approach were 2 fold.
1. The Ymir in the movie was from venus. So trying for a hot volcanic Venus type landscape.
2. It’s a male and female pair; and like some animals, male is brightly colored and female not so much.

Cool - but the parallels to the Biblical story of Lucifer are irresistible ... once you see it ... you can't unsee it!

Reworking the Ymir base.
I cut off the top ledge and moved it forward to overhang the base versus hanging more off the back.
Changed the angle of the ledge so winged Ymir will be better aligned and facing more forward.
Added crater to ledge and beefed up ledge to help ensure it will not crack/break under weight of winged Ymir.
Moving the ledge forward has the benefit of reducing base depth to make it a little cheaper to buy display case.
Still have to dry brush reworked ledge.
BEFORE
Ledge was hanging off the back of the base
NOW
Ledge is moved forward over the base

That was a super-smart catch. The display looks a lot more balanced now.

Continuing to refine the Ymir base, the one column was still a little wonky .
And since I beefed up the top platform, the columns needed to be thicker
I will have to rework the lava which is ok as I am getting a little better at lava effect each try

Great idea for a "Venusian Diorama" ...

I like the new color scheme.
And the changes to the base.

Thanks B-A, yup, I was aware of that dragon kit before, and I saw the latest opportunity to buy it.
It is very well done; but that dragon just doesn’t call out to me. Odd I know, and not sure exactly why not?
But thanks for making sure that I saw it!
