    Hi guys! Sorry I couldn't get to answer quickly since my life happened recently:joy:

    It was a present from local player, who'd bought the head from chinese 3D printing third party production. Here's the link(you might need to log in)

    The Claws of the wolf were malformed when i unboxed him.
    As i hoped for a hooksword from the start i build one when the Blue wolf was announced.
    It turned out way too big, so i came up with a Guan Dao. What do you think of this Weapon switch?
    In the Background the Beyond red Veil Fiday as a Yuan yuan with Jump module.

    IMO the Claws on the Blue Wolf were maldesigned. ;) Thus the weapon swap looks waaaay better - despite I'm no fan of two two-handed (or one two-handed and one one-handed) weapons in each hand build in general.

    @Fed4ykin I agree with @Tristan228 including the use of a two hander in one hand, but you can readily explain that away as carrying it since it's not being held in a 'using' pose. I will hopefully try to convert a single handed sword as I think that will work better in my eyes. That said, your conversion is excellent and definitely looks just like the intended weapon, great job!

    Nice Fiday-Yuan conversion too, hadn't thought to do that since I like the fiday as it is - but reminds me of the older Ragiks on one knee. I'm guessing the actual female Ragik from that box is now a shotgun Fiday? (wish I'd have bought two boxes now!)

    Actually, since I don't play haqq, the ragik from that box is a yuan yuan now too. With chainrifle and katana. The original red veil yuan yuan has a tiger soilder jump module now.
    I guess a TAG should be able to handle the Guan Dao with one hand. Honestly I just had the idea and went for it.

    For the hooksword. The guijia on human sphere has one depicted in its dossier. You can use this as reference and work with plasticard and a thin rod for the handle.
    Start with a little bigger outlines as intended and then when you have a silhouette you like slim it down or sand it down to size. That's how I do it.

    Just a weapon swop, but I couldn't part ways with my old Swiss guard HMG model. Making it a Multi Rifle hacker profile now. 20201128_180459.jpg 20201128_180519.jpg

    It still looks very nice and a natural swap of different weapons.

    That’s a very nice swap, but I can’t help but think she has to tower over the older HSN2 scaled models.

    It is not so bad... Here is a line up... sorry for the blurry picture, if focused on the background, but you get the idea...

    You will notice her base is slightly taller too...

    The SAA n4 list brought me back here. Here‘s someone who‘d like to say hello.

    [​IMG]

    I'll post the conversions (and paint jobs) Arthur from EZPainter has done for me in the last two years.

    Question: What kind of magnets have you used with success for the new Pano 2020 Dronbot Remotes?

    I meant specifically the previous Odalisque sculpts, but I appreciate the photo.

    Here are some minor conversions (mostly simple arm and head swaps)

    @kesharq Wow, that's quite a mix but they look great! I'm way too afraid to swap arms in case I'm left with stuff that's never used. I find them fiddly enough to fit some arms on their own model as it is, let alone trying to make them fit on another model (most of us experienced the Taureg sniper issue, but she definitely hasn't been the only one I've struggled with). I totally forgot about the spare Shikami helmet to use - thank you :)

    @Redfaint That's the Joker Morlock with his head removed for the Akhalis Spitfire Helmet. I added some greenstuff dreadlocks later. The blade from the Assault pistol was removed. The Knife is from the Bashi Bazouk BS.
