Kitbash using Terror Dog and Ernie bust , not sure what to call it, Ernie-Taur, Terror-Tau,

[Blurt]

I like Terror Tau

[bucketfoot-al]

That is gonna be one UGLY minotaur-terror-centaut-thingie ...

[barad_dur]

Thanks Blurt and Vlad!

Replaced short tail with new longer tail (a tentacle from a kraken kit). I will refine it to remove tentacle details.

Continuing to work front legs.

I plan to add and use arms from Sandy Collora Shark Hunter kit.

[bucketfoot-al]

You've done some Frankensteinian kit bashes in your time Joe, but this one just might take the cake!

[barad_dur]

I didn’t like the proportions or front legs angles, so I cut the torso amd front legs off, and repositioned them.

Also shortened where the torso attaches to the body.

I will lower the back spine and make it more parallel to where it wil connections to torso.

Tons of work left to do

[Stormheart]

You are one fearless modeler!

[barad_dur]

Thanks Stormheart! .
Hah, yeah, I have learned (finally) that if it isn’t “looking right” , then it is much better to just cut it up and start over fresh

Beefed up and blending abs into the body.

Adding front feet and claws.

Modifying arms from a shark hunter kit: cut out finger webbing, tapered wrists, adding much bigger biceps

Slimmed down back
Working on adding arms

Now that is looking INCREDIBLE!!! Something about it reminds me of a stop-motion creature like the Taurus Demon from an old film like "Equinox"!!

I had my doubts about this one when you started, but now you "married up" the pieces and added your vision and - *BOOM*!

There is was!!

[barad_dur]

Good call Vlad , the equinox creature vibe is exactly what I am trying to achieve!

Man, I miss one day here and I miss a ton of stuff happening!

Good call Vlad , the equinox creature vibe is exactly what I am trying to achieve!

How many different kits are you using for this one? What's the greatest number of kits you've used in one bash?

How many different kits are you using for this one? What's the greatest number of kits you've used in one bash?

Lord this is a great question! In my own case ... I'm gonna have to think long and hard, but the answer would be "more than 3". I suspect Joe will top that easily ...

[barad_dur]

Hi Overspray, Thanks for viewing this thread and for the great question!

For this Terror-Taun, I am using parts from 4 different kits :
Ernie (torso, head)
Terror Dog (lower body, legs)
Shark-hunter (arms)
Kraken (tail)
4 So far that is….
I am considering making this bash much more dynamic and having the Terror-Taun fighting with another TBD creature….

With regards to most kits used for any bash, I am pretty sure it’s the same as this one , 4.

Slimmed down and changed angle of front legs
Working on getting rid of the “brachiosaurus” look by taking torso further down into lower body and flattening back.
