Pretty pleased with how they turned out.

Post by: Wilkins on 13 April 2013, 08:01:43 PM: The striped jumper is very nice indeed, fairly sure a guy at work has the exact same one! Very interested in seeing your cop conversion as I did something similar on one of my own. Pictures please!!!

Have to admit I literally googled patterned V Neck jumper and picked the pattern from the results! maybe it is his jumper! lol

I'm going to undercoat and paint my cop conversion tomorrow, I'm pretty pleased with how it has turned out, just hope I don't balls it up when I apply paint. :?

Post by: Smillie on 14 April 2013, 10:40:27 PM: Finished my conversion of the Studio Miniatures shirt and tie plastic zombie into an American style county sheriff looking figure.

I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, sculpted a hip holster on (pistol grip could have done with being bigger but its no biggy) and sculpted on a radio, and mic.

I also converted another of the figures so that he is wearing body armour, I'm planning on painting him up like a turned TV or Press person. More on that tomorrow if I have time.

Thanks for looking.

I'll soon post my own studio miniatures zeds, I hope I'll do as good as you !

Post by: A_Train on 16 April 2013, 12:58:14 PM: All of them are great, thanks for sharing. As others stated, I particularly like the striped shirt, and the free hand EMT is also well done. Keep sharing!

Post by: Smillie on 16 April 2013, 11:03:38 PM: Thanks all, they were fun to paint, I liked the challenge of trying to make the limited choice of bodies look different. more to follow.

:D

Post by: Smillie on 18 April 2013, 09:25:15 PM: Just finished this modification of another Studio Miniatures plastic.

I like how it came out, although I made some stupid errors in sculpting the body armour which even I could have avoided. All in all though I quite like it (my writing of TV on the front is not as crisp as I would like though)

Post by: Smillie on 19 April 2013, 01:03:13 PM: Thanks, I'm pondering modding another as his turned sound man or something.
