From Foundry Ancient German to something different : Hillbilly !

[nervisfr]

thanks my friend,

But the material use is very simple to use.
As i don't like the green to sculpt....(too long and boring for me), i have to find something more easy to use for me...

These are brilliant conversions.  I look at an ancients figure and only see it as an ancient figure.  I need to use my imagination!

[Mason]

I love your conversions, nervisfr.
So elegantly simple, I kick myself for not thinking of them myself.
Wonderfully imaginative.

Damnation...

I missed this thread too.

Wonderfull stuff Eric.
And i was trying to convince you to use green stuff.
Well done.
Keep it coming those crazy conversions.

[nervisfr]

thanks guys.

If you are interested, follow my blog for finding lots of ideas like that.

You need to develop your imagination just in seeing a figurine and think what you can do with it. By now, i can't do otherwise if i look a figurine, i can see very fastly how to give it a new life into conversion.

For example, in 15mm many years ago, i have used Dervish Ansar with turban from Colonial ESSEX range for converting them into Chinese Boxers. Just by painting !

and here for a friend who asked me to do something with 2 Foundry Saxons :



now they are Mountainmen

Imagination his your best friend.

Cheers

Excellent work Eric. Where do you get the metal leaf from?

[nervisfr]

From a flower and decoration store.

it's very soft and can be bend or press until it disappear on the figurine.

I made cloak, hat and armour pieces , like on this big troll :

Uau!!!

Mate that´s a great conversion.
I think both of us must open a threat just for the conversions.

Many thanks!

painting the 3 this weekend ;-)

[Mason]

Nice work!
 

I guess we are fairly similar in outlook as I always look at a figure and think 'How can I alter that...?'

Always tinkering, I am afraid....

[nervisfr]

thanks Mason,
it's a kind of X ray view !
You scan the figurine and you get the solution to give it a new life !
