Working on converting an extra plastic Ironclad into Ol Rowdy. Not sure I like the plaques for the honor badges, might have to redo those.

The extra armor bit on the right shoulder is awesome! The plasticard bits on either arm seem a bit bulky - maybe, if you file them down a bit?

Great work though!

That is AWESOME!! where did you get that model?

Nice looking work so far, but I agree the honor badges look a bit off. They seem too thick, maybe use a thinner plasticcard? Aside from that, it's looking like Ol'Rowdy.

Redid the big shoulder with the closest I've come to a scratch built bit ever. Gave up trying to make the extra arm armor look like Rowdy's, and instead dug thru the bitz box and came up with a spiky armor plate from the back of a Menoth jack's open fist, and a little guard grill thing from a Cryx Reaper's Harpoon for the elbow guard. Looks nothing like Rowdy's gauntlet, but it looks cool. The elbow thing is really a surprisingly perfect fit. Also got the big studs in on the left shoulder. Just need to do the honor badges now and he'll be done.
