Merlion (28mm/Heroic scale)

 This is a special design for our friends at Funbie Studios, the Merlion being the national personification of Singapore. This is my own take on one of the creatures, going slightly less anthropomorphic than the last version. The model shown was printed on a Wanhao Duplicator 7 (base printed in FDM on a MakerBot Replicator), We've set up a Patreon page for anyone who's interested in helping to fund us so we can keep making free and open sourced games like Pocket-Tactics, OpenTactics. and others, not to mention the growing catalog of gaming miniatures that you can use for whatever you want!
