28mm Cyberman Head Sculpt

[CyberAlien312]

Since I was annoyed by the fact that there are no good new series Cybermen miniatures on the market, except for the Micro Universe ones, which unfortunately are scarcely available, I thought maybe I could sculpt a Cyber head myself. You can see the pictures of the result below:



I have always liked the cybermen (which is probably noticeable by my username  ) so I'm thinking of getting these heads cast up. The only thing I would need is a good, preferably cheap, miniature for a headswap with a body that closely resembles the new series cybermen, or is at least in a comparable style. Does anyone have any suggestions for that? Here are some examples of what I'm looking for:



Cheers!

Perhaps GW Plastic necrons or plastic dark eldar with the spikey bits removed?

[Bobble]

Maybe Heroclix Iron Man?

yep, before the MU figures appeared, I started work on some clix Iron Man figures...

head works, bit broader than the new series style, but it fits as a kind of intermediate stage with the broader classic heads...

It's certainy instantly recognisable for it it's meant to be - good work sir!

Thanks for the replies!
Yes, I think the heroclix iron man is the way to go, it looks surprisingly much like the new series bodies.

Clix Ironman was indeed my first thought, but for a slimmer look, perhaps a clix C3PO?

A 3P0 figure of some kind crossed my mind, but discarded when I couldn't bring myself to think of sullying with a conversion to such evil.

Saw a couple of figs with a Google image search, and have to admit with some arm adjustments, darn good. Still have to cover the belly 'wiring', though.

If all else fails Doctor Who Adventures are re-releasing the infamous Thighbermen again next week .(along with yet more iDaleks...)

You could always graft that nice head of yours onto one of them  

Then he'd only be 80% crap.

You'd have to reshape the feet though. They all seem to be wearing odd metal pumps.

Unless you sculpt the body too....

Leaving, what? That fine plastic half-blister they come in?

Edit: If you ARE able to crank out those heads, consider sharing. Just had this weird idea for them grafted on regular bodies. 'The transformation was interrupted, but, somehow, the result survived.'

I guess I will go with Iron Man.

Yep, I will share them when I've had them cast up. Mind you, that will probably be quite a long time from now.

Nice job, looking to do something similar myself after my Dalek overdose

You could pop those heads on Heroclix Ironman models.
