I wish I could get this model. It’s just plan awsome.

Just before you mentioned painting before glueing it together I was thinking you were very likely going to get sworn at in French quite soon for doing that. 😀

The level of detail on this thing means you can probably get away with a very rough wash and highlight job as long as you pick out the obvious parts like teeth and bindings cleanly, and the size of it means it pretty much shades itself with natural shadows.

Great model. It’s sort of a shame that you can’t get this as its OUT OF STOCK on the web site. Lets hope they restock soon. None of this limited cast junk that is happening to often with some models. 😉

Beautifully detailed and properly fearsome. The only criticism I can possibly level at this is what seems to me to be a disproportionately small body compared to the heads/necks.

I really like the Mid nor, Griffin, Sessairs and Wolfen range. This is a pretty fine peice of kit. Makes sense as a titan in c4 not so sure about it in c3. Shame its oop and was expensive when you could buy it…looks like fleecebay is extra fleecy as well

This would be a nice add on to my Cryx. Don’t really know where to proxy it but it does fit.

A Cowboy Job? Seems like a mutant Hydra – all the tentacles and such… If it has all those heads with mouths, why does it need a stomach mouth? I agree with thc303 – the necks seem too thick. Makes it look like a wormy Hydra rather than a lizardy / dragon Hydra. One persons ‘Idiot proof’ layout is another persons nightmare design, in particular if they want to put it together in a layout other than the ‘idiot proof’ standard. In this case you would need to do a massive amount of filling and filing in order to do… Read more »
