[QUOTE="Kris, post: 4412638, member: 3745"] This one has been lying around in my box of shame (my tub of unpainted metal) for years now - and I can't even remember where/when I got it or who the manufacturer is. It was obviously meant to be the cerberus (or something very similar - i.e. a large three headed hound), but the miniature came in several different parts - with the three heads being separate from the body, and just not fitting together very well at all. Anyway, after looking through some of my (3e) monster books, and realising that the D&D version of cerberus is CR20+ I thought I would combat the problem of the ill fitting heads by removing one of them and using it instead as a (somewhat lower CR) 'death dog' from the Fiend Folio. Admittedly, because of the mini's 'large' size it will have to be a 4HD version of that monster - but I thought I would have a go at converting it all the same. So here is the result of the conversion after hacking/cutting/filing away one of the heads, re-centralising the two remaining heads, and a whole lot of green-stuff to tidy things up a little. I've also mounted it's integral base into (rather than onto) a 50mm round base: [CENTER][IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/deathdog1.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] All in all I'm quite pleased with the result …so I'm bound to mess it up when I paint it :) [/QUOTE]
