(Crappy
photos are crappy, I know, but this is just the build and hopefully
you get enough of an idea of how it looks. Must get me one of these
magical daylight bulbs people talk about because, good grief, do I
not get good light in this place during any time of day I'm actually
around.)
So
the Heroic Scale Female Heads from Statuesque Miniatures turned up a
couple of days ago and I quickly cobbled together a test mini using
some spare Cadian parts.
The
good: the head is very much in scale and the legs don't seem out of
proportion as I feared because the big pockets on the side account
for a measure of the bulk. I might have to rethink the Victoria Lamb
order I was going to make for kilted legs if basic Cadian parts work
this well.
The
bad: the connector at the base of the neck is flat. The ironsighting
pose you see here is because that's the only way the head attaches to
the torso. I'm going to need to buy some modelling putty and build up
the necks of the models to make pretty much any other pose. Not a
huge problem but annoyingly time-consuming. I looked at the
conversions I'd seen on line and, yes, green stuff necks.
Ah,
well.
Still,
the overall effect works and even my incredibly messy putty sculpting
should be up to making necks (or at least not be to
o noticeable at a distance).
