Title: Need a head. A jerk's head.
Post by: FramFramson on May 28, 2017, 09:56:57 AM

Doing a conversion.

I need a handsome head which is highly expressive, the head of a smug jerk, a predatory asshole, a used car salesman on another level. Think Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross, think Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, think the Wolf of Wall Street, Biff Tannen, Stan Gable, Archer, President Tr [no politics!]... well, you get the idea.

Should be well-sculpted, clean shaven, and good-looking. Larger size, such as GW. Might be willing to decapitate a figure just for the head if it's clean.

Ideas?

The old Griff Oberwald from the Empire Blood Bowl Team, helmetless, perfect hair, smirk.... unfortunately it's probably not an easy model to find, and too old school to cut his head off.

HF do a naked (!) not-Tr... if you could use something older and more orange

Hasslefree actually does a couple of not-Sterling-Archers (and Brigade a not-Trump).

How about the Kenneth Williams-alike in Copplestone's KKBB Trainee Agents pack?  The flared nostrils may give the impression you want.

If we're talking Hasslefree, you can't go wrong with Hasslefree's Sgt. Spanner (http://hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=sgt.-spanner~hfa092&category=modern-%26%0D%0Apost%252dapoc~modern-adventurers)...  

:D

Hasslefree faces are well-done, but might be just a hair on the small side for the body I have (A Statuesque body which will be very heavily converted).

Of the Hasslefree, I think Oscar and Alexander are the closest to what I have in mind, especially Oscar, who has a sneering predatory wildness to him I like.

@Vanvlak: Maybe not that fellow specifically, but Blood Bowl characters might be a good source of such heads. I ought to look at Willy Miniatures and Guild Ball figures.

Not a bad idea.

On reflection, Hasslefree Oscar is basically perfect (neck might give me a little troubel with conversion, but nothing I can't handle), but I don't know that his head is big enough.

Does anyone here own one?
