Sphinxi?  Spanx?  Well, whatever the plural, I made a few.
</P>
<P>
The key here is human heads.  I have lots of extra heads, and I even buy
more on occasion.  These are GW fantasy ogre ... giant ... something heads
and make for nice conversions.  They are the hear of my
<a href=http://www.inlgames.com/scrunts.htm>many trolls</a> of
various stripes.
</P>
<P>
After the heads, the good bit is I am repurposing leftover dino bodies, after
the heads trieratops heads went to other conversions.  The rest is decor.  I
made tails from ogre arms for the little guys, and some type of tentacle thing
for the big ones, who also have leftover wings from my recent
<a href=http://www.inlgames.com/impz.htm>imps</a>. 
The "big" big one (shown here) gets a larger base, too.  Makes him more imposing,
I think.

After the bits come together (and dry), just paint them up.  I used a base color
coat, two lighter shades of drybrush, then a dark brown wash.  After that I did
the white details (which I think makes them stand out a bit) and the remaining
miscelaneous colours.  Overall, a nice effect.
