Kaines WIP (minor conversions)

[Kaine]

Here are some of the minor conversions i\'ve made, they are pretty basic so far but i thought i\'d post em.

Firstly, my GW Librarian, made soley from bits of various GW plastic marine kits, i\'m planning to sculpt a little plasma fire burning up from his right hand at some point.

The next one is a sitting Death Korps guard figure that i took out of one of the vehicle kits and based up sitting on an ammo crate, a sort of sentry piece.

nice conversions thx for sharing with us

I like them, especielly the second one... but the second also looks a bit odd. I think it would look better if you cut out the legs and place them not as tigh together... it would be much cooler

I think its the angle i took the picture at that made the 2nd one look a bit weird, from the other side it looks better.

I really like the librarian. The only problem I have is the lantern/censer hanging directly from the front, it would bang into his legs with every step. Seems odd to me.

I agree with Emo about the censer. They look better hanging off the side of the hip. Nice fig tho, a sculpted flame would be a nice touch.

The sentry is supercool too. Very stylish.

The Librarian has a Dark Angel shoulder pad right? Well in that case his hand is in the perfect position to be caressing the groin of a fellow battle brother, as befits the Dark Angel background (See the Dark Secrets thread for more info)!

Nah, bit of flame and some OSL from it once you paint this dude will certainly be a nice finishing touch.

I have to agree with Larre about the sitting Guardsman. It\'s a nice idea, and by no means bad, but he looks as if he is cramped in. He could definately do with much more of a gap between his legs to make the pose more natural.

Knowing Forgeworld that\'s probably a one-piece figure tho Separate arms maybe.

 

[Kaine]

Its a one piece figure designed to sit on a little seat inside one of the carriers, so to separate one leg would probably kill the mini knowing the way resin snaps.

I do have a second similar guard figure i\'m posing up that should look better.
