Would these heads fit on Mantic GCPS or Antares freeborn?
« on: September 23, 2021, 05:13:28 AM »
Does anyone have experience with these?

Would they fit Antares freeborn or Mantic GCPS (the first kickstarter ones, not the newer ones)?

Is smooth fine detail OK or should I really go for smoothest fine detail?

Nobody could answer this I suppose, but I went and ordered the heads (smooth detail) anyway and they turned out fine:

Bothan head tacked to Antares Freeborn body & Rhodian head tacked to Mantic GCPS (early version)
:




The Quarren body is an OOP Mongoose plastic ganger with OOP plastic Skinny arms, also from Mongoose.

Comparison pics with an Imperial Assault Rebel and Legion Luke (mounted on a thin base):

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing those photos. Getting scale right in kitbash conversions is such a challenge.

I thought I'd only seen that set in Legion scale. Nice to see it in a more useful size, and good to know that it scales with old Mantic GCPS. I have a load of them that I hate, so these may make me look at them again
