Oldschool neurothrope

[vejby]

Hello hive.

I just completed an oldschool neurothrope based on the 2nd ed. zoanthrope and thought I would share it with and see if anyone had any comments. Without any further ado, here it is:

As the description in the new box says that the spine is more extended on the neurothrope, I used one of the old warrior bodies with the extra spines on the back and made some extra spines on the head as well:

The brain is bigger as well and he ends up being taller than the regular old model, so he is clearly an upgrade character or special in some other way:

What do you think? Is it any good or should I just have bought the plastic one?

Ah that's awesome! Like the red head. The old model is cool he has great claws.

Looking at that big head of his and the colors I'm starting to think it is to christmassy. Hopefully that feeling will pass after the holidays.

Nice paint work. I typically think the really old school 'nids are butt, but that looks pretty nice.

Thanks!

I actually think that many of the older models (but not all) have more character than their present incarnations, but you cannot account for taste. One thing all the newer models have going for them is multi-pose, though. The old ones usually had one correct way to assemble them and otherwise you could fiddle with green stuff and pinning for hours and still not get a good result.

Love it!

Am a fan of the old Zoans. I've got 3 too
