 :D
P.S. : It's actualy wire from a coil I got out of a relay (the electronic switch component you can find in cars etc...)
I'm not sure, but I think the wires in a (flexible) cable are thicker.

So Laughingferret, I can see the tentacle is hand made, how did the "suckers" get shaped?

Same way- suckers are the easy part actually- the main tentacle part is a lot harder. make a bunch of very small green stuff balls, and along the flat underside of the tentacle just plop a ball down onto it, pressing it in the center with a smaller diameter object (point of a round file is perfect) and instant sucker.. repeat 59 more times ;)

Converting a Reaper Bones Minotaur:




A few details and his shield left to go.  Will post those pictures when I finish him and paint him.

Original figure for reference

The pose was too hunched, his head was protruding from his chest, and the musculature needed work.  Also, I wanted to add a bit more Greek flavor to him.  Will use him in various games.

Loving the conversion. Though i need to get one of the original versions still. Only thing i am having an issue with is the length of his legs. They seem not long enough. It is something i see a lot with Minotaur figures and not just this one. Maybe a pic from more of a table level if you have a sec?

Latest conversion: change a dino-man spear man to be a chieftain: shield & stone axe:

Always love your work LF. I hit your blog often to see what new madness you have done. The stone axe though. Seems not to be in his hand properly? Should the head of the stone axe be twisted a bit to the model's right? Other than that cant wait to see it painted.

Finally managed to get the last 3 Hannya-Killers done.
Here they are

Ghostface comics? I am loving them but i couldn't find any reference on them. Got a good link by chance?
Now, it is hard for me to tell. Are they men wearing masks or something else?
And cant wait to see em painted. :-)

Thanks Grimm.

Pictures in my Fantasy WIP Thread might serve what you were looking for.  His legs are a little bit short, but not terribly so.  I can live with it, especially since if I bother to change it I might as well just sculpt the whole thing... Lol.

Thanks Grimmnar-you might be right about the axe, I'll have to take a look at it.

Here's the latest big conversion: a 40k IG plane for a Genestealer Cult Army: a big Tyranid is bursting out of it
