The solution that I will be using does add a bit to the cost but is quite manageable. You can clearly tell the current head looks like a warrior head and the green stuff extension isn't, mostly due to my inexperience with sculpting, what I would call.
The head was definitely the #1 area of concern. Overall, the feedback I received was quite positive but there are some trouble areas that I think need some attention. You can, of course, click it for an unobstructed view of the full size version so you can see all the details. This is as large as I could make the picture without going full size that would engulf half the screen including the right sidebar. The rest was pretty much just a bit of cleanup. The only major change was filing out the holes at the back end of the crest and adding a ridge down the middle of the top side to add some character and make it not just a flat plate extending from the plastic part. I did do a bit of work since the teaser pic I posted previously. And now without further stalling for time I present to you the current beta version of the converted Zoanthrope. I have recieved a lot of feedback from and owe thanks for many of these ideas to members of DakkaDakka and The Tyranid Hive who provided a ton of excellent feedback on my conversion. I will share pictures of the model in its current state and several ideas on how I plan on improving it.
I have made a few tweaks to the model and have several ideas on how to improve on the design. Hey everybody, Chaosheade here with an updated look at the Zoanthrope conversion that I recently shared.
