Just a quick post today so I can get back to work on the terrain. Here's a conversion piece I was commissioned for– A Trollbloods Bomber with quills on his back rather than the armored plate.
The metal model incorporates the plastic back piece from the Mauler kit, as well as the plastic head. And, as you can see in these rotations, a lot of brown stuff epoxy putty was used to sculpt the extra quills and fill the gaps.
The challenge was to figure out how to attach the Pyg, since the handle he's normally gripping wouldn't have anything to connect with. The solution was to remove the handle and have the Pyg gripping a fist full of quills, hanging on for dear life.
The Pyg's arm was twisted, the handle clipped away and his fingers resculpted. The quill he's holding has a supporting pin running through it, into the Bomber's back.
The conversion was left unpainted so the client could finish off the painting himself. I'm looking forward to what this will look like when it's painted!
I do a lot of assembly conversion commissions like this one or the Borka Kegslayer conversion from a few weeks back, so if you've got an idea of your own that you'd like to become a reality, shoot me an email at robhawkinsart@gmail.com. I'm taking commissions now for late August.
