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.

Love the Tyrion - looks deceptively dangerous.

Thanks VL

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.

I'd shorten the hair and lose the beard.

Just paint the beard on as it is more stubble than a full on beard. Apart from that I think it's bang on.
-
Thanks AB, I will shorten that strand of hair at the front, it's to long.
-
Lovely work. What else do you have planned?
-
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.
-
Great work. Before I even read the description, that third figure instantly brought The Hound to mind. I look forward to seeing more.
-
Really great work!!
-
Wow!
Great conversions. I look forward to see more of this ;D
-
Those are terrfic conversions, they really capture the actors.

I look forward to seeing this develop.

Thanks guys, the mountain is next.

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.
-
The conversion work is IMPRESSIVE even without an idea what characters you are capturing in miniature. GREAT WORK!
-
thanks gents, good to hear I am on the right track.
-
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!
-
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 ;)
-
Very impressive conversion skills there... :-* ;D
You can capture the likenesses extremely well
-
Great head choices/conversions on all of these - the TV characterisation is very well done 8) 8)

Sadly it looks like Gunner hasn't been back to this for well over a year :(
Any update Gunner Dunbar? Such promising beginnings... Come on, you know you want to... :D
-

Wow, missed this bump, due popular demand I will have to re start this stalled project, just so busy with commissions now, but they do deserve a coat of paint.
-
Yes please :)
Your public awaits!
-
Most definitely!

Yes. Yes, they do. Give 'em some love and maybe your mojo for this project will come back. All the cool kids are doing it! :D

Such a big club already! :D
