Whenever there‘s some greenstuff, a drill and some superglue involved on a chaos model: count me in! Great Job!!

[@TheLordUrban]

My problem with a lot of modern manticore sculpts is that they forget the human face. A flying lion with a scorpion tail is dangerous sure, but add a human face and it also becomes unsettling.

Really loving this idea (and the beastmen blog in general) gonna dig around for some wings to try to replicate this.

[@listenerthree8998]

It took me a while to figure this out, but you can paint the tufts, wash, then highlight same as with anything else.

[@ScruffyCrow]

Might try that, I've painted them as part of turnip models I suppose.

[@MessedUpHare]

Was doing some internet wandering and noticed these wings are "BIG WINGS (3)" by Max Mini...

[@ScruffyCrow]

That makes some sense I think, I remember I picked them up from somewhere, just the wings, for a demon prince I never finished.

[@Castillo525]

[@looselycollected7505]

Have you shown it to Trish Carden?

[@ScruffyCrow]

No but I'll probably post it on the Oldhammer group.

[@TheJankmaster]

Can you give some detail on the glue?

[@ScruffyCrow]

I use industrial strength stuff of eBay (ever build currently) I usually use the gel / high viscosity stuff but I've been using the medium one recently, it definitely sets faster and is better at getting in gaps but I find it messier than the gel.

[@TheJankmaster]

@@ScruffyCrow sadly looks like that is a UK Co…not sure I can get it in the US without a hammer of a postage cost

[@ScruffyCrow]

I'm sure there's a local equivalent, I just search eBay for industrial strength super glue, the individual brands change all the time but if it's in that type of bottle it's usually pretty consistent.

[@TheJankmaster]

@@ScruffyCrow I’m going to give it a shot. The dragon ogres from that period have precious little contact area for some limbs
