Inspired by this thread, I've decided to have a go at making a model Tarrasque in much the same way. I have bought the same model Rancor kit as frankthedm and intend to follow his ideas with regard to shortening the arms (by the length of the manacle), though I don't think I'll bother shortening the fingers, the Big T looks to have pretty long digits in every piece of art I've seen of it.
The feet have to go though, so I've also bought a Jurassic Park model T-Rex which is at roughly the same scale as the Rancor, and that will provide the lower legs and feet as well as the Tarrasques long tail. As for the horns, I'm gonna get a couple parts from Citadel Miniatures mail order (Manticore tails) and file them to shave off any unwanted detail, and of course I'll use a liberal amount of modelling putty to smooth over any gaps and joints between the various parts.
I have a week off on holiday soon, gonna assemble this beast then and start the long process of painting it (though undercoat is gonna be quick and easy, a can of Citadel skull white spray should do the trick in no time at all!).
Thanks for the idea frank. When I get this sucker finished, I'll be sure to post some pics here.
