Title: Conversion work : Ambushed and Scalpted !
Post by: nervisfr on April 22, 2015, 08:50:10 AM
hey boys,

here it is my last creation based on the following material :

(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5343/16589759403_52a3850bde_b.jpg)

A plastic celtic torso and legs, a bald head (celtic ?) and a crest from Vitrix hoplite...and a dixon 28mm  7YW casualty.

that's give us, this conversion :

A huron jumping from a tree and falling on a regular soldier.

Could be use as a "scalp marker" for "Song of Drums and Tomahawks".

Cheers
Eric

i'll had more details in my blog about the work.

That's take me less than 20 minutes to create this vignette.

Agreed! That is going to look excellent and very atmospheric on the board.  I would never be able to tell it was a conversion -- looks perfect....!

Thank you carlo.

For those who want to use an another idea from me.
You can use this pose (from my slave revolt Project

(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2909/14235507584_17742c69f6_o.jpg)

and transpose into the French and indian war period with a regular spearing an indian with a bayonet.

any way, in this conversion, plastic for the victim is a must, for a question of weight to be supported by the figurine of the killer.

Cheers
Eric
