So I ran a couple tests using on older plastics to see about cheaply expanding units.
One is an old plastic Orc from the Warhammer Fantasy Regiments set, the other is a 5th edition Lizardman.
I shaved off the right side of the Orcs chainmail and used Apoxie Sculpt to cover up the rest of the chainmail giving him what I hope looks like a caveman fur tunic and replaced his sword with a sculpted club.
The 'lizardman' had his head replaced and his scales shaved off. Also sculpted a fur cape on his back to cover up the scales.
The lizardmen came out quite well I think.
I think both look quite good.! Where is the shield on the lizard Orc from?
ReplyDeleteBoth shields are from the multi-part Goblin box set.
DeleteVery nice paint jobs, totally assume!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBoth look quite good. I can see in the close up where you carved the plastic orcs back, but it's not too bad and I don't think it would show at gaming distance. Also add some tribal body paint to break up the lines and you'd never know. I think both conversions really work well.
ReplyDeleteThank s for the input, I'll definitely try some war paint on them once/if this Savage Orc project gets off the back burner.
DeleteGreat figures well painted.I look forward to seeing more of this conversion work...
ReplyDeleteThese work very, very well indeed.Its incredible how some subtle conversion work can make something new out of a 25 year old model. Well done! I would like to see a whole unit of these!
