Conversions are great! I just love them!
That's the reason why I want to start this topic. I mean, everyone has alreade convert a mini, everyone! And all of them are unique and great!
So, when you've just finished a conversion (or a long time ago) post it here!
Elves, orcs, rohirrim, it doesn't matter! Just post them!
And if you want it and got the time, please write down how you've did it (doesn't has to be a 20page long text, just a small description is appreciated)!
(And please, don't be shy to post, I'm not a great converter myself)

So, get some pics of your home-made minis, or copy images from your gallery and start posting!

Raggbur
Ps: please, just post your own, everyone has already seen those golden demon winners.

I haven't done any major conversions, but I'm planning on doing some. Once I've done them I'll post photos of them here (if I remember).

PS. I like converting too. :)

Just remembered a few other conversions that I've done, but I didn't think of them before because it makes them illegal for official tournaments.

Two are horses that broke at the ankle and now have an item propping them up (one has a "tree root" which is the smoke from the Fantasy High Elf Mage's feet, with the feet sheared off and the other has Kroot hair as grass to support its front leg) and the other one is a metal Knight of Minas Tirith with his lance-arm removed and replaced with a Fantasy High Elf sword arm (although I believe I removed it again, but don't know where the lance is).

@ Hashuts Blessing: could you show us some pics of those last ones

Well normally I should show you all some pics of my conversions to get this topic started, but I'm to bussy with other ones and damn :-X how does that camera works

I'll try to post some soon to

Edit: I've got a question related to theconversion I'm working on: is it possible to use PVA as casting glue ?

It amuses me how many of us have said we'll "post them up soon", lol :P I'll see if I can take pics soon for you ;) I don't let a mere broken leg stop my horses from running about :P

Not sure what you mean by "for casting", Raggbur?

EDIT: Forgot to tell you... If you make an account on Photobucket or something similar, upload them there and tehn copy the Image Code into your post, it'll place the picture in here :D

I really like the idea of some tought veterans defending the ruins of Osgiliath with a fool's hope. But they were to expensive and a had some spare gondorains, so... Of course, I came on this idea after seeing Pirates of the Carabean. I'm traying to make some good looking bandages, but I don't know how. If you do, please reply


Yes, it's exactly the same discr. as from my gallery

I'm reading a looooooot of fantasy books (not those adventure books for 10+ but real ones) and in most ones they discribe battles with the ugly and bloody details like how heads are beeing smashed en arms are cutted of (not the things you want to read before eating a delicious steak). So a new conversion idea appeared in my mind...
