Kodiak bear

[Lovejoy]

I apologise in advance that this isn't a miniature - but it's sculpted by Nick Bibby, a name a lot of us will know from his early Citadel work. Anyway, I just saw this sculpt and it totally blew me away - a life-size Kodiak bear:







And I thought his Great Spined Dragon was an impressive bit of work!

Been following its 'construction' on FB... amazing piece of work

[OrlandotheTechnicoloured]

so who do we get to pantograph it ?

[Klingsor]

Impressive but no use at all, you would never be able to get it onto the table.

But if you do get it on the table - auto win! There is no safe distance from a bear...

Wrong scale!



(that is reaaaaaaly good!)

Life size?! It's really that big

[Jakar Nilson]

Life sized?! More like 1.5 to 2 times the real size. Unless Nick Bibby is a really small man...

Admittedly from Wiki so might need better sourcing but "When standing fully upright on its hind legs, a large male could reach a height of 3 m (10 ft)" and it's on a ledge a good 9-10" off the floor to start with...

I dunno - Kodiaks can be 10 feet tall when standing upright... given Nick's standing on the ground and the sculpt is slightly raised, I reckon it's life size.

Edit: Ninja'd!
