Spring Heeled Jack......Reaper Minis Conversion
« on: 22 March 2012, 06:56:19 PM »
I finally managed to get hold of a "Selthak the Poisoner" mini from Reaper Miniatures.
I added some pistons to the back of his legs, replaced his daggers with claws and scratch-built a base transforming him into "Spring-Heeled Jack". Hero or Villain................?????

Excellent work! Loved all three books. I don't think either villian or hero, pawn is a better word.

Very nice. I was thinking earlier of re reading the tale of Spring Heeled Jack for a mini inspiration.

Really cool. I read about Spring Heeled Jack when I was little, in a Reader's Digest book called "Strange Stories, Amazing Facts" that my grandma owned. I read it so much that she eventually gave it to me as a gift. Lots of scary shit in there, at least to a youngster! Spring Heel was always one of my favorites.

So good! And I was just looking forlornly at your thread today, wondering when we'd next see pics from you, too.

With all the victorian horror games out there you'd think there would be a few Spring-Heeled Jack minis out there...But great stuff as always!
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.
