Greeting folks.

Can I get a little advice on how to convert this figure. I dont want to do the standard pose thats on the box, Id like to change it a little. So can any of you pass on some tips for converting the pose and such. Ive tried simple conversions with 1/35 scale figures (swapping arms and torsos) but nothing major.

Im just fishing for ideas here, any advice will be graciously accepted.

Thank you.

Good monring Jon,

May I suggest that you put your question forward over on Historicus Forma's Sculpting DG? Not only is the forum lead my Markus Eckman, a professional figure sculptor, but you'll find many sculpting and conversion tips there - including some conversions of Tamiya 120mm figures

Hope to see you there

There was thread about this figure, after it was released. Described what was right, good and things that could be improved. Anybody remember where that thread is ... or else the same informations from another source.
I dont usually model or paint modern, but have the whole set of Tamiya figures ... so Mr. Bundeswhere and this guy will becoming up shortly. Cheers!
