Please errata Myranda to a 50mm base

[decker_cky]

So I wanted to do something like this since I saw the Myranda pose, and it turns out she fits perfectly on this hanged model. It's right now only connected by a dab of superglue, but it's so perfect that I think I have to do it. I can always use the old metal as my actual Myranda in games.

That's awesome...

but not exactly a reason for an errata *grin*

Still be a sweet little diorama though

It makes it look like Myranda went all Predator...

Very awesome idea.

When I saw the title of the thread, I was like...."Why would that even be considered..."

Then I clicked the link and I see the light. That works well together.

Same here but that looks awesome.

Nice idea, I think. Well done!

[Da Git]

I'd let you use it in game like that as long as Myranda was about Ht7 or so!!

maybe you could cut the tree down just before it swells past the 30mm, magentize it, and then mag the 30mm base and the rest of the tree, then you can swap it around for terrain or play?

Thanks for the suggestion. That's sort of the idea I've been playing around with for this, but it's tough because the nightmare hanged are so fragile. Not only will they almost be touching the ground, but the extra handling in switching bases all the time could be enough to create issues.

Regardless, I've been playing around with this some more, and will post some more pictures tonight with the expanded concept.

Well, if you're comfortable with actually making it taller, and a fair bit of additional modelling and greenstuff work, you could go for a look often found in the world of bonsai, where the tree is growing over a rock, with roots that hug the rock down to the ground below. Google 'bonsai over rock' and browse through the images for some ideas.

The trick would be using a rock that looks natural while tapering back down to a 30mm base, and then having it all weighted properly so there's no danger of tipping. And then making it all of a size that's still usable, rather than just diorama material.

It does look like a great start, will be interesting to see how it goes.

Tempting...

So by that logic, you'd be fine with Ht7 domesticate, right?

And if Marcus and Myranda are going to be playing in the trees, who's going to stop their pet kitten from getting in on the fun?

And who can keep that dirty ape Cojo from getting in on the action?

And what's that coiled up in the branches? Why it's the dreaded tree rattler!

A bunch of these conversions are only half done, but I had fun messing around with the models so far.

I must say though...not the cheapest project if I didn't have everything ready to go already - there's over $100 of basing materials being used here!

I think this should just become one epic Marcus crew diorama, and then get a set of Marcus to play in games with.

When not running Marcus' crew, they could double as wicked terrain.
