'Sea Turtles, mate!'

One doesn't often encounter a Turtle with an expressive face, but that is one pissed off looking Turtle...could be the ship someone built on his back .
Your OH-SO-CLEVER creation is turning out WONDERFULLY! WELL DONE , Amigo!

That's looking brilliant! I love the turtles head... and indeed, I guess most turtles would look pissed when you build a ship on their backs? hmmm I feel a reallife experiment coming up... where does one buy turtles these days?

slight update

VERY COOL! It's quite a bit larger than I thought it would be...AND looking VERY shipshape. Keep up the EXCELLENT WORK...when you feel like it.

This is awesome! Reminds me a lot of the Tuskarr from warcraft, who also built howdas on the backs of giant sea turtles.

Really nice GS work on the turtle and the ship, and Deafnala is right, that is one pissed turtle! I guess I wouldn't want a band of pirates building a ship on my back either...

I really like the little boardwalks around the sides of the ship. Can't wait to see this guy painted up. Very, very cool!

The latest additions to the Beasty look TERRIFIC...the Turtle looks thrilled about them also.

Ha! Only one thing to do here: the "Cianty move"

Coming together brillianty Blessedknight!

Thanks for the updates!

Incredible work you have here.Love your GS work on that awesome turtle-ship.

been a while since the last update but he finally has his base coats.

YAAAARRRRR!!!

absolutly amazingly well done!
(although I don't see why a turtle-propelled vessel would need a sail )

LOL! Cool!

WOW! That actually surpassed my wildest expectations...A REMARKABLE piece of modelling. I LOVE the sail, & the woodwork, & the bow chaser, &, well, just everything is SO PERFECT. VERY WELL DONE! I'm looking forward to seeing her all painted up.

Amusing and amazing!

Certainly your imaginiation is much mora active than mine!

Thanks for sharing.

Nice.

Wow, awesome turtle! I'm really looking forward to seeing it finished.

By the way, who's going to be the crew?

That's a lot of green stuff.

I've missed this thread before... both the idea and the realization are awesome indeed! I'm looking forward to seeing the final painted work!

fixed it for you. 36" strip of GW style GS for about £8
(it was basically easier to use greenstuff than to work out how to do planking effects around the bow.)

hopefully returning to this project in the near future after painting 2K of empire and building a 40K stormraven

My Empire army is finally getting some colour.
(just got highlighting and bases to do on the following WIP pics.
