Making a Squat sniper

Inspiration
In 2008, I was looking at some auctions on eBay and I noticed an auction for "Squat Rangers".  I looked at the auction and noticed that the seller had taken some of the Dwarf miniatures from Battle for Skull Pass and turned them into Squats.  I tried to bid, but missed out, so I decided to make my own.

Tools
The tools you will need are a razor saw, a modelling knife, and a pin vice and drill bits.

Materials
The materials you will need are a Dwarf Thunderer miniature from Battle for Skull Pass, an Imperial Guard plastic helmet, an SM scope, and a Kroot rifle.

The Conversion

You will have to carefully carve away the helmet which the miniature has and shape the head to accept the Imperial Guard helmet.  Once that is accomplished, you will need to remove the gun which the Thunderer is cast with and work on the area where the Kroot rifle will be positioned.  The last thing is to cut down the Kroot rifle and glue it into place.

Note
I see a lot of gamers lamenting the fact that Citadel miniatures no longer produces Squat miniatures on the blogs and collectors sites.  There are still Dwarf miniatures being made, so you can fill the vacuum  by converting Dwarf miniatures
