Gatorsaurus Girls!t
Yep. You read that right. Gatorsaurus Girls! It was suggested
as a compliment to my
Sharktopus Men
and I thought ... why not? I have some female orcs that are
lying around waiting for some monstrous conversion or another.
This conversion will be like my Sons of Sobek, except that they are girls. And one other thing...
I didn't have enough female orcs to fill out the 13 I
wanted, so I grabbed some 'Clix as extra bodies. These
aren't as savagely dressed as the orcs, but they are
fairly muscular and a bit oversized for 28mm. You can
always count on 'Clix to have something out of scale for
anything.
So, basic conversion. Cut the heads and tails off the 'gators.
Meld them on to the bodies with putty. This time I used plumber's
putty because it was left over from some home repairs and I didn't
want it to go stale. So I used it up.
But that only gives us "gator girls". What about the "-saurus"?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Spines! That's what! So I sacrificed a few drink umbrellas from the bar ...
... folded them in half and glued ...
... then cut a section out of the middle to go on the
girls' backs.
That's looking better. I just put them on with indoor
industrial adhesive. That holds them on just fine without
digging groves and sinking them into the back. You'd break
some other part of the figure long before you would break
that hold.
The start of the paint job was yellow underbellies, then blend
hunter green in from around the back. Gold paint and black slotted
pupils for the eyes. A light green highlighting and some dark
brown for the clothing.
The big bosses are going at it front and center. I love a commander
that leads from the front.
And since I had the umbrellas on the painting table, I grabbed
a couple bottle caps and made some tables.
I have been meaning to do this for a while, and it seemed like
the right time since they were out and being used (for something
other than cocktails).
