  • But maybe everything that dies, someday comes back
Many of these figures are ones I painted recently myself and it's fantastic to see your take on 'em too. My own Duchess is rather darker, with a bit of a central asian cast to her. There are so many ways you can do that figure!

I LOVE the prof and Young Indy. Those are ACE conversions.

I will be posting a prof of my own soon, and I think you'll be a bit tickled at my interpretation...  :D

Hmmm... Maybe I should revive my Transylvanian VSF thread. That must have been dead for at least a year... And what better subject for bringing back to life?  ::)

Yes! Absolutely! That was one of my very favourite projects of yours; it's such a fun idea.

Chinese Bandits WIP - p.8.- Somewhere in Outer Mongolia UD 13/01
« Reply #109 on: January 13, 2015, 09:01:31 PM »
Cheers, gentlemen!

today nothing painted but some WIP pics. Some conversions made by some nice guys from this forum. Thanks, chaps!

First the two made by Lt.Hazel, the guy on the left side is a Obelisk civilian miniature now smoking and bearing a LMG :) the other is a Pulp Figures Tong gangster who got a rifle, new hands and some other details.





This one is made by Admiral Benbow, it's a Foundry Askari miniature with a head of a Foundry chinese pirate and a new finely sculpted pigtail.





and here some unconverted guys, just sticked to their bases, Copplestone chinese bandits, all of them

That Obelisk miniature with the LMG is inspired! Looking forward to seeing you put some wonderful paint on it too!

Nice conversions.
They should add plenty of character to your bandit gang.

I have a few Tong left and may have to consider giving one of those some heavy firepower like yours.
 :D

I am amazed at the speed you manage to paint and achieve such flabbergasting results!  :-*

So am I!
All I have managed so far is chucking a bit of green stuff onto my newly hired orderlies at the Asylum, but they are not finished yet.
A most impressive output, Alex.
 :)

Obelisk stuff is an amazing opportunity to spice up the gang. I wish I had more of them but thanks Admiral it looks like I will be getting a few of them soon :)

If you find a source for all the period suitable guns/rifles/heavy weapons, please le tme know. I had a few in my bitz box but I would need more if I want to get a whole troup only out of converted guys.

Paul, I wouldn't worry about the state of your project, you have proved more than once that you are going to achieve your goals earlier or sooner :
