Empire Griffon - Deathclaw - WIP

Started working on the Karl Franz on Deathclaw kit; here are the wings, heads and body. There are actually three heads, the one not pictured is like the ond on the right but without skull armor. The two-headed one is for the wizard mount.

The wings were sprayed with Rustoleum flat brown and then a light black spray on the outer wing tips. I don't own an air brush, nor am I experienced with them, so just use regular aerosol can spray - and masking tape when needed like with these wings. A light dry-brush was used over both finishes. I have to say the Rustoleum was worrying me as it took a while to dry - overnight. The left fore foot and two rear feet have magnets inserted to mount on the base. The wing will also have magnets for ease of transport and storage. Green Stuff was inserted into the body cavity for the wing.

Here is the body with a stain of Minwax Tudor Satin. I used the box art as a guide as I have very little experience painting animals (griffons included) except for horses.

As I was waiting for the Rustoleum to dry, I put together the three riders - from let to right - Empire General, Karl Franz and the Wizard. Karl Franz' right arm has a magnet to switch out the Runefang and Hammer. The base is also completed with magnets to hold down the model very securely, and still able to be removed if needed.
