Well, there he is. He's still blurry as usual, but it's cool in person! Ok, so, problems with this conversion. The arms fitting to the gun; resolved with filing and greenstuff. Weight of gun makes it impossible for arms to hold; resolved by taking a paper clip and attaching it from the shoulder to the gun which was then covered in greenstuff and made to look like a strap of cloth or leather. Backpack not connecting to flamer; resolved by bending a paper clip to the desired shape, covering it in greenstuff, and then notching it with an xacto knife. Sword having a hand on it, while model isn't going to hold it; resolved by cutting the pommel and sword off, attaching them with a paper clip, covering that in greenstuff and notching it for a grip, then taking a strip of greenstuff and wrapping it around the top of the blade for a partial sheath. Balance off; resolved by gluing a nickel to the bottom.
So then, this was actually the hardest conversion I've ever done because of all of the plastic-metal joins and the greenstuff sculpting that I had to do. In all, it was a pain to do but it looks cool to me right now. Ah well, I'm sure that it will be better after it's painted.
