after seeing this on the Tyranid hive website i decided that i should have some of my own large creatures for my tyranid army. so inspired by the topic above and i began (and with help from a friend) construction of a Tyrgon out of a Carnifex and several carapaces from the gaunt sprues. and this is the result.
it stands at 5" (half an inch shorter then the FW model but this one is more hunched) and uses the plain head, upper and lower body and all the sycthing talons from the box set. extra bits include a third pair of talons (not pictured) six small carapaces for the torso and possibly several more for the tail. i came up for the concept and did some of the platic handling, my friend who is the better sculpter (and saner) of the two of us applied the modeling clay to the model.
it still has a bit to go but the basic frame is done, we just now hope that the modeling clay (which i got from hobbycraft recommended by one of the salepeople) does its job and we will have a trygon that cost us £50 less then the FW one.
