Hi all_ just a preview of my latest model set: Scorpion with an add-on pack of mecha parts. Still probably a couple of weeks work left mainly texturing and setting up MAT Pose files. A couple of WIP images here of two of the texture sets.

Here's the red laquer chinese version_ still to come_ natural texture, 2 mecha textures and embossed (and be-jewelled) gold and silver. Tail movement /threat posture all easi-posed. There's about 6 or seven mecha attachments for the claws and sting (may be more if I'm inspired) Still not too late if anybody has any bright ideas or 'wants'!

Ah Thgeisel here and there! Few things over at DAZ_ got a few projects in the pipeline_ I've always wanted to do a scorpion tho' and when the inspiration began to wane a bit on the other projects went back to my love of critters! and I'm excited about this one! If only that day job didn't get in the way so much!

Gorgeous Noggin! Love the textures! No doubt easier to set up than that Cobra! :)

I look at a scorpion and cringe and you look at one and see chinese lacquer. I tell you, I'm in awe at that kind of imagination. If the mechas hold up to the beauty of the red and black, you have a customer. Emily

Thanks one and all. Yep sandoppe _ MUCH easier :-) LoL_ he was my first shot at Easi-pose and I'd do him differently now I think! This ones simple enough with the master dials in the head section. There are no twist or lateral bend dials (cos a scorpion can't do that!) However some of the mecha props such as chain leash and ball and chain have the full compliment of easi-pose function. Queri _ can't really say the mecha textures are quite as beautiful, but I hope you'll like them! Nigel

You didn't mention they were amusing. I like the morning star. Emily

Just super! Looks like a wonderful variety of mats and props! I really love the chinese laquer look. I look forward to the release Nigel! :) I already have a spot set aside in my shopping cart!
