Here are the Aepycamelus greens I'm working on. The main change since the last post is that I've started to flesh the legs out. I also felt that the one on theleft was too long in the body, so I sawed a slice out of him, and stuck him back together! This was fun and surprisingly successful. I'm happier with him, now.
I am, however, experiencing a crisis of confidence over these greens. Whilst I think I will be able to make them look reasonably good, they are, however, a bit big for my purposes, at 65mm tall; I really wish I'd made them 50mm tall, instead... they are really 40mm scale rather than 28mm. However I'm learning a lot, technically, as I go along with them, so I think that I will finish them (at least crudely) and then start over with a smaller armature.

These are looking much better than many of the figures in a well known range of prehistoric figures I could name.
You are too, too kind Legatus.
Ideally I should finish them, and then sell the greens to someone who is doing a range of pre-historics in 40mm scale. Probably not a lot of chance of finding a company in that sector... ;-)
Are you still Zama-ing?
Merry Christmas Simon From Secundus and all his men.
Merry Christmas to you, too, Secundus! And your cat!
Simon - if you are intending to use these as mounts - couldnt they be for leaders? As surely the officers get the pick of the best ? :-)
Hi Doc, alas they are so large they would clearly be a different species!
I suppose I could stick humps on their backs and sell them as 40mm scale camel greens...
If I don't catch you again, have a great XMas!
