Conversion Corner (Big and Small)

Perhaps this is the grognard in me, but I was somewhat annoyed by the fact that the German plastics have the rifle munition pouches moulded onto the models, quite annoying when going for troops armed with MP40's. A lack of StG44 munition pouches is also frustrating.

They do suggest on the little card that you can glue the SMG pouches over the rifle pouches.

A pair of better shots of the MG42 gunner conversion, with a better view of the extra parts I tacked on:





And now for something completely different..



Miss Felicity Watson, part of my evergrowning and evolving collection of minis for 7TV. She's had a simple hand swap, replacing a rather modern looking SMG with a more classical, if a mite bit overpowered .45 pistol.

But not too many, can't flood the market with them, what was once cute and unique will then become done to death and unoriginal.

Could be converted with the hair bits from certain helmets, like the Eldar biker types.

I remember like it was yesterday - my first Tau figure and already made a little conversion - made the plasma rifle twice long.

Tau

I know that painting sucks, no shadows, no lightnings and s**t, but still - it's my first ever made paintjob. After this 6 years i see how much i'd change, but im kinda nostalgic wink

That painting's not bad at all, actually. The barrel connection is quite clean, too, I like! What does your newer stuff look like?

Well, actually lately i made less conversions, and more just painting and modeling. I had a 3 years brake in actual painting, even if i was reading and watching other ppl paintjobs during this 3 years.

Chaos Marine
Chaos Term
Terminator Lord
Terminator Lord back - the Lord was first one i painted after the break.
Heavy Bolter
Chaos Marines - Last ones before the break
Grey Knights - made few years back
Shas' O - added a few details after taking photo

Last few weeks painted couple more chaos marines, 3 more greyknights, assault marine, SM Commander, more chaos terminators, And right now i got chaos rhino, 3x chaos bike and 4x SM Terminator on-going or prepared with just a base chaos black.

In future i plan adding Nemesis Knight from GK, Furioso Dreadnought, Carnifex, GK Terminators, and few more. smile

Those are nice, the shading in all of them is pretty nice, and I like the clean lines on the Shas'O

I fear those might be too big a do for the minis I'm using. sweatdrop
