Greetings all!

This is my first entry for the competition. I have never done anything in 10mm so we shall see how it goes. I like to push myself trying new things. I am new to this forum and hope to contribute some  :)

I am calling it a Bore Wyrm. These large creatures tunnel through the earth in search of precious metals. These are consumed by the Bore Wyrms, so if you were to defeat one, there would be a hoarde treasure to find inside of one! They have very strong jaws with very sharp tearing teeth, they can also create a burst of electricty that emanates from the front. When they are encountered in the dungeon, it has usually tunneled into a dungeon treasure chamber. So following a Bore Wyrm tunnel could be very lucrative or foolish, depending on the DM's whim  ;)

This figure measures about an actual 4cm... right now. Here's a pic of my start



More photos coming soon! C&C welcome

I hope to create one or two more entries before the comp ends......

Leon

Welcome to the Forum, and thanks for the pic, interesting start.  Is the 4cm from front to back?

Thanks Leon! The 4cm would be from head to tail tip if streched out....  :-[   It barely hangs over a 16mm square base and fits on one diagonally  ;)

My next set of pics will show it next to a 28mm plus on a drawn 16mm square.

I was wondering, Do I need to sculpt a base for this? If so would it need to be 16mm?

Leon

Looking good, makes me think of 'Tremors' a bit.   8)

I think you won't need a base for that.  The figure could be moulded quite easily without one, and then it would give people more freedom to do what they like with it.

Thanks guys! I was trying to create something that was coming from a mist, although the appears to be tendrils maybe too? I hope it is something people would like to have!
I have two more I would like to submit when they are done. ;)
I wish I had some 10mm minis I could have used for size reference but I am just measuring from the suggestions in the tips topic.....

This is the first time I have done anything smaller than 28mm, it's kinda fun! I hope to try more...........
