It's an excellent idea, but the conversion is kinda shaky in my opinion...it looks like his waist is too tall, and this throws off the whole thing for me. It's not a Rackham mini, after all... :P If that is NMM, it is superb.
This is a definite improvement over the older version. I love all the small attention to detail (vials on back of belt). The shading is great.. you can hafve the purples without it looking too garish or pastel. I do wonder how someone could weild that thing one-handed though; does GW make any realistic sized weapons?
