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

Really loving this idea (and the beastmen blog in general) gonna dig around for some wings to try to replicate this.
It took me a while to figure this out, but you can paint the tufts, wash, then highlight same as with anything else.
Might try that, I've painted them as part of turnip models I suppose.
Was doing some internet wandering and noticed these wings are "BIG WINGS (3)" by Max Mini...
That makes some sense I think, I remember I picked them up from somewhere, just the wings, for a demon prince I never finished.
You did a great job, love how its all coming together!
Looks great. Keep em coming!
He's very cool
Beautiful work, I love the basing too
Amazing Work!
Very nice conversion.
Nice
Have you shown it to Trish Carden?
No but I'll probably post it on the Oldhammer group.
Can you give some detail on the glue?

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