Conan the Barbarian.
« on: 23 June 2011, 07:54:00 PM »
Here's my take on Conan.  This one obviously more of the Schwarzenegger version...







The mini started off as Hasslefree's Wolf, but with a few simple conversions works fantastic as old Arnie.  On the FORUM OF DOOM Mr Hasslefree himself confirmed that Arnie was indeed the basis for Wolf....So I guess this is full circle.

I'm amazed at how well Kev White captured the look of the former Governor.  Not sure if it shows up here as well, but  :o!

I added hair, a headband, wristwraps, and filed the sword down a bit.

That ... is ... nice. Lovely conversion work. Lovely paint job. Definitely an Arnie lookalike.

Looks just like him Vikey.  Great convo work and good painting.  I like the 5 o'clock shadow you achieved. 

Etymologically, should Barbarians shave?  Would they?

I hear the lamentations of their women....

Great work!  Aptly timed with the pending film.

I like these muted colours. Also the base is a nice touch.

Really well done, your conversion blends in perfectly. Conan might be my favorite movie.
