40th Pathans bagpiper conversion
« on: October 20, 2019, 11:24:01 PM »
Recently posted on my blog re: a modest conversion I did, attempting to combine these two fine Perry and Artizan Designs figures…





...to try and turn them into something resembling this fine figure of a Pashtun martial musician:



Though by no means perfect, I'm pretty happy with the result:

That's awesome!  I would love to see them painted.  Still, my favorite Indian Bagpiper is the Snake Charmer!

Thanks very much for all the positive comments!

I too am excited to see him painted, but we all must wait for his proud owner to do so, as I converted him for a friend who lives at the other end of the North American continent!  But when he does I will come back and post his pics here.

@Sir Walter: I had no idea, but the Snake Charmer bagpiper is impressive indeed!
