\"Boss, the catapult is broken...\"

[DragonPaint]

Here\'s my entry at the Italian Golden Demon 2004... this year I have just the time to finish one entry and I have selected this one just because it was funny.

What\'s happen if the Goblin Doom Diver catapult is broken... the little green devils give up or find another way to hit the enemy?

I have modified the catapult carefully bending the elastic cords and damaging them, then I have modeled the inflated squig cutting the head and legs and sticking them to a ping pong ball.
With some green stuff I have modeled the tail and smoothed the joints.
With a steel wire I have suspended it and at the same steel wire I have attached the original snotling pullers (I have removed the original rope and drilled a hole to let the steel wire in place).
A Snotling in another part of the base is trying to catch the next squig ready for the pump (the pump is build with a barrel, a piece of a plastic skeleton spear and an electrical wire)

An instant classing in my opinion, one of the most inventive and interesting pieces I\'ve seen in a long time, congrats!

Voted and commented. What a great idea yuo had here and perfectly executed. Using the ping pong ball was a great idea. I also voted on the other miniature.

On a side note I have finally broken into triple digits. lol

Thank you all for the nice comments!

The Italian GD was on December 5th and the Doom Divers did not place for the first places (the competition was really hard, here\'s the page with the winners:

My best pleasure was to hear the comments about the diorama....
The funniest one was by a girl that say:
\"...I cant think about the method used to inflate this poor squig...\"
