Title: Another Game of Thrones project
Post by: Gunner Dunbar on 03 January 2015, 11:25:11 AM: Hi guys, new to the forum, as I watched the series before reading the books my imaginings of Westeros are heavily influenced by the TV series, so I will be trying to recreate that look as close as possible, I am starting with some of the main characters, here are my first 2, Brienne and Tyrion, they are converted from Perry plastics, more pics on my blog, all comments welcome.

Post by: Gunner Dunbar on 04 January 2015, 09:44:58 AM: Hi guys, the 3rd GoT character, not as happy with this one, whilst I think it's a cool figure, it doesn't resemble the Hound as much as I would like, thinking of doing another, what do you think? More pics on my blog.

Just paint the beard on as it is more stubble than a full on beard. Apart from that I think it's bang on.

Post by: Elk101 on 04 January 2015, 10:35:32 AM: Lovely work. What else do you have planned?
Title: Re: Another Game of Thrones project
Post by: Gunner Dunbar on 04 January 2015, 10:51:59 AM: Hi Elk, I will be doing all the main characters, then some units of generic household troops for each house for SAGA skirmish rules, waiting on some plastic foot sergeants before I start on the generic units.
Title: Re: Another Game of Thrones project
Post by: Gutbukkit on 04 January 2015, 11:28:01 AM: Great work. Before I even read the description, that third figure instantly brought The Hound to mind. I look forward to seeing more.

Post by: Gunner Dunbar on 05 January 2015, 09:25:50 AM: Hi guys, this is my Bronn conversion, base figure is a plastic Perry European mercenary, not sure about his tabard, looks like he is wearing shorts, but otherwise happy with this figure, working on the mountain at the moment, more pics on my blog, all comments welcome.

This with spades! You really manage to make them instantly recognisable.

Post by: DeafNala on 05 January 2015, 02:07:01 PM: The conversion work is IMPRESSIVE even without an idea what characters you are capturing in miniature. GREAT WORK!
Title: Re: Another Game of Thrones project
Post by: Gunner Dunbar on 05 January 2015, 07:26:10 PM: thanks gents, good to hear I am on the right track.
Title: Re: Another Game of Thrones project
Post by: krakenskulls on 06 January 2015, 12:38:01 AM: There are sculptors out there who could not capture the likeness as well with full size models. I know just from looking at the pictures who the conversions were before I read them. Well done!
Title: Re: Another Game of Thrones project
Post by: sundayhero on 06 January 2015, 12:43:03 AM: seeing the pics, I have been able to easily recognize the characters, without reading the names. So I believe the job is done pretty well ;)

Post by: sukhe_bator on 04 March 2016, 11:01:28 AM: Very impressive conversion skills there... :-* ;D
You can capture the likenesses extremely well
