[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 190931, member: 1164"] Hello, At the moment I am in the workings to turn an ERTL star wars Rancor model kit into a big [b]T[/b]. [URL=http://www.starshipmodeler.com/starwars/ph_ranc.htm]This page shows a review of the model & its parts. [/URL] not my review BTW Originally I was going to use the classic toy of the Rancor but I got the model kit for 10 bucks on Ebay :bounce: . Not to mention the [URL=http://www.brianstoys.com/acatalog/Vintage_CreaturesLoose_Rancor1.JPG]toy has about 1/3rd the detail[/URL] of the model kit. Current plans -The earring is already gone -remove the manacle when I shorten the arms. [IMG]http://www.starshipmodeler.com/starwars/ph_ranc4.jpg[/IMG] -Add horns. I may make them attached above the eyes or behind the eyes in the visible depressions and curve the horns forward [ Suggestions would be VERY appreciated ] [IMG]http://www.starshipmodeler.com/starwars/ph_ranc2.jpg[/IMG] -Reduce arm length slightly on both arms [ the manacle on its right arm is about how much I will take off .] -Trim down the fingers to a less ridiculous length -Lengthen toes or replace feet completely -Use white glue strengthened Spackle & epoxy putty to build up spikes & carapace. -hunt down an appropriate tail or sculpt[y] one BTW for inspiration I will be using the 3E concept art [URL=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/mm_gallery/Tarrasque.jpg]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/mm_gallery/Tarrasque.jpg[/URL] & the Tony detrlizzi [sp] 2E Monstrous manual art NOT the gooney color 3E MM illustration. Notice how the big [b]T[/b] looks like the rancor model? I will do my best to keep you updated on this colossal project. I will try to borrow a friend's digital camera to show my progress on this project and a few others. Here are links of SW Rancor models that are assembled [ not mine :( ] [URL=http://users.pandora.be/hobbytime/Images/rancor.jpg]http://users.pandora.be/hobbytime/Images/rancor.jpg[/URL] Those fingers are LONG! [URL=http://www.culttvman.com/assets/images-EVENTS/sfmcrancor.JPG]http://www.culttvman.com/assets/images-EVENTS/sfmcrancor.JPG[/URL] This one, apparently is a scene of a government test site. [URL=http://www.goldenapplecomics.com/jan98/rancor.jpg]http://www.goldenapplecomics.com/jan98/rancor.jpg[/URL] Quite dark but very menacing.

Any suggestions for color of body? The Monster manual Creamy coffee & orange caramel colors do not feel threatening enough. One of my friends suggested a very dark glossy steel[ drow adamantine] to represent both the toughness of its hide & reflective powers. Too bad that color scheme will be impossible to take a decent picture of. [/QUOTE]
