Sea Monster

I made a sea-monster.


It started life as a cheap dollar-shop dragon toy. Like all good cheap plastic toys, it fell apart into its component pieces very easily, and is hollow, so was easy to cut up into a waterline version. The tail is part of the dragon's wings.


And here it is after the milliput, wire, repaint and basing. It's ... big (at least it's big compared to the ships).


I was trying to go for the look of those medieval map filler monsters, mostly because the model has that slightly derpy expression you see on a lot of the art-work..


And I made a submerged marker for it too.

    1. If you scratchbuild the ships then it's a pretty cheap one to explore :)

      (The funny thing is that I also have a proper collection of Napoleonic ships in 1/1200th as well, but I haven't had them out in ages)
