It shows once again you don't need fancy conversions for something special. Well done.

Thanks for the positive comments guys.  8)

Now, we want to see Blake, Dr Manhattan, Ozymandias...  ;)

I really have no idea what models I'd use for them...  :'(

My sculpting/conversion skills are limited at best and the remaining characters are really quite unique...  :?

Sorry, I totally miss you answer :oops: . I just hoped you got the next characters.

To amend me, I made a bit of search to find right figs, but as you said,  it's far from easy :

The major from Heresy could make a decent Comedian (with a pair of GW shoulder pads  ::) )

And without her katana, maybe Suzy from Hasslefree could pass for Miss Jupiter (or any other Japanese school girl ?)

Then, the Nite Owl should be very hard to make without heavy conversion, Dr Manhattan maybe be found through super-heroes ranges (Heroclix ?) but I don't know them at all.
Idem for Ozy among the Ancient Wars range.

Any Help ? ( Frothers  ;) ?)

There MUST be some superhero-minis that can be used with only a little conversion...?

Using bits/head swaps, and the likes?

I nearly fell off my chair whean I saw Rorschach - such a simple and striking conversion!! The Watchmen is one of my all-time favourite superhero-stories (I've got the 5 or 6 albums in the Danish translation, somewhere... hmmm...).

I actually HAVE that particular mini - but he is destined for another fate.... I may at some point in the future have a go, though...
