Another brief bit of time to work on minis. Small stuff, I know, but I'm trying to keep morale up by getting excited over even the tiny bits of time I can manage.
Hard to tell, though hopefully the pics are better anyway, but sculpted a bit of neck to connect the heads to the bodies, made some tails and then glued & sculpted them onto the bodies, which are now on bases.
I've also included a shot for scale comparison between one of my Reaper conversions on the left, and an original Fimm on the right. Pretty good fit, in terms of scale! I still have some reservations over the differences in style, though. I'm going to wait & see how some paint impacts that, though. Also thinking a lot about hand/weapon swaps for the rest of the savage orc conversions. I'm just not into the stone-age weapons.
I think they are very successful. Perhaps you could hide a lot of the savage clutter with circular breastplates (press moulded).
ReplyDeleteI think that the size is great, and obviously getting a box of plastic orcs is pretty easy as far as sourcing goes. The muscles and details are a bit off though, although you could probably carve away a lot of the extra stuff you do not want.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to see how the first batch turns out after they're painted. I've converted four more using other (non stone/bone) weapons, which I think will help.
