It seemed like a cosmic joke. It seemed that every time I won a lot auction on eBay, some of this miniature were included. I do not like having a whole mob of the exact same miniature so I had to do something. After long hesitation, I decided to start carving him and see where the project took me. This is what I ended up with.
Tools
The tools necessary for this conversion are a modeling knife, files, razor saw, and a pin vice.
Materials
The materials necessary for this conversion are the Necromutant miniature, some scrap plastic bits, a heavy weapon from Space Rangers, a weapon end of your choosing, some pinning wire, and some glue.
The Conversion
The first thing that you need to do is remove the rifle from the miniature. You must decide how you want the miniature to look, so you must either leave the right hand as it is cast or remove it and glue it back on. The miniature on the left has the right hand removed and the right arm cut back while the miniature on the right has the right hand left as cast. Also notice on the miniature on the right that I have cut the right leg and repositioned it with the use of a slice of leg from a 1/35th scale miniature.
If you notice in the picture of the finished clowns, on the miniature on the left I have left the right hand as cast and on the miniature on the right I have repositioned the right hand. On the clown miniature on the right I have also repositioned the left arm with the use of a segment of a plastic Goliath arm from the Necromunda range. For the weapon end I chose to use the plastic chain fist from some early GW Titans. I have done the same conversions of the two "Trencher" miniatures in the last photo. The hats are from Tamiya 1/35th scale WWII German soldiers and the weapons were not altered.
