Just come across this thread for the first time. Occasionally I dabble in a bit of conversion but not very often, so I give you one I did some time ago.

Starting with a Foundry Landsknecht command figure like this one:



I needed to make a Cardinal Matthaus Schiner for Marignano 1515. The hat is a shield.



Note the nose extension, he had a huge conk. (At least I think that's what it said).









And the finished command stand featuring, the wonderfully conniving, Schiner.

I needed a Heavy cavalryman for my Silver Bayonet Brits but couldn’t find one that I liked until I came across a figure in the Caliver books Regency Zombie hunters range.

I made a sword scabbard from a bit of flattened copper wire and slapped on some green on the bits that I wanted to change.

Here’s the results

I know that compared with some of the masterpieces posted here this is very small stuff, but here some "repair" conversions I did.



The guy on the right lost his helmet hand and the sponge on his stick.
I replaced the hand with a plastic one cut from a warrior arm, and the sponge is just the end of a QTip shaped and hardened with PVA glue. Next to his twin you can see that he looks the part rather well



This 2 models were a bit more complicated, especially since the attachment points were miniscule.
The miner's pickaxe on the right lost its tip, which I turned into a hammer with a couple of leftover plastic cut-offs (the cuff from the first arm I sacrificed for the guy above plus some other medallion bit). It turned out pretty well and I'm certain it will look natural once painted.

the guy on the left (last miniature in this kit had already lost the tip of his botefeux  and while turning it into a spear or large shovel made the most sense, the breaking point is on a slant and attached to his his fist so I ended up using the cannon shield. it kind of looks like one of those stop signs used by construction crews to direct traffic, but it works well enough.

Well her goes, this was defintaly the most involved conversion i've done.


One old dr who mini from the Harlequin/ Black Tree Design line, Nyssa of Traken in quite a static an dull pose.
Well thats what the pile of guns is for.


Her arms are cut free and you can see that this was not a great cast.
But the gun pile was whittled down to a few choices, in the end the blakes 7 blaster did just fit.

The cut damage filled with miliput and 0.5mm pins added.

A twin gun pose was considered but i settled on one.


mostly finished, time to sleep on it, add a wash an some baseing.
