Since I'd have to get Schaeffer's Squad from the UK and pay 70 bucks for it. I decided to convert it:

Firstly, I don't think anyone should have to pay £35 for one b*****d model.

Secondly, it looks like some normal Cadian guy, and so I don't really see what you've done to it...that you couldn't have done with plastics. The back is a bit messy has a big gap what needs filling, and uh...
I'm not gonna lie. I don't really like it. I think his body is too small for the rest of him, and although that's not your fault, I still feel like it's too big a problem for me to just ignore.

Well youve got a big gap between the torso and the legs, and the arms and the torso. Youve also got glue everywhere. And for schaeffer, hes one of the characters id reccomend giving a helmetless head.

Well, the conersion is good, for a cadian. Fill in the gaps, and you have a damn good cadian officer there. However, the gaps ARE noticeable, and if you want schaeffer, then use his head at least.
But, that's just one opinion among a few. Nice job on the camo, by the way. looks very smooth.

He can be bought for about $15 on the U.S. online store... This is probably about 8 pounds...

um...Shaeffer's squad can be bought in the US in single figures, just go to the classic IG section, and go to characters. All of them but Chenkov, Yarrick, and Al Alraheim are in Shaeffer's last chancers, and they're cheaper individually.

Some parts are just a little too.... big..... His arms and head are giant for him, and his torso is small. Remember, Im not criticizing too much, but other than that it looks good

Sossos...please learn to keep current on your topics. This thread has not been posted in since December, and the thread creator hasn't even posted in here once since the first post.
