Hey christmas is coming up and my little cousins love the show ben 10 and for christmas they asked me to make some aliens and ben for them. So I watched an episode and looked for bits. I finished the one that has four arms and a guy with tentacles for his mouth. So does anyone else got any tips or conversion ideas because I need these finished ASAP

hmm....You might wanna look into D&D or reaper elementals for that crystal guy. Besides that I have no idea how you could model them.

Thanks for the answer

Could you post some pics of your work so far? It sounds interesting.

I don't know the names, but I think that flame guy would be easy to build out of a Heroclix Human Torch mini and the tech creature shouldn't be to hard to model.

sure, I'll post some pics after christmas because my brother gave me a new camera

how young are you cousins? they might break your converted present really easily or hurt themselves with it :/

Well three are 10 years old and 2 are 11

While not being much of a help, I wholeheartedly support this project and would like to see what you end up converting up

If you're going classic Ben 10, I'd say Fourarms could be done with Catachans or Orks to get the big torso and arms and his head is sort of like a tau head, though you're going to have to green stuff in an extra set of eyes and some spikes on the elbows. XLR8 could be made from a warhammer skink torso and legs, genestealer arms and an eldar gaurdian head. Again, some green stuff work would be needed to make it all mesh.

good luck

Oh, and Wild Mutt is basically just a krootox with the rider and gun removed and a little greenstuff work to cover the eyes and maybe expand the claws. Oh if you do XLR8 remember to model the spheres on the bottom of his feet.

Oh, sorry I didn't see that you've already done fourarms. What did you use?

For fourarms I used an ogryn then place another set of ogryn arms which are all converted and used a blank sculpting face and put for eyes on it

Just went to the market today and this guy was selling ben 10 figures that are 30mm. I am just cutting off their bases right now and using the figures I bought to give to my cousins. I will keep the ones I made

thats mean

No it isn't just got back home and asked them which set do you want? and they wanted the figs from the market saying my ogryn-fourarms is scary and my sapc marine vilgax looks like a midget!

Now I want to model up XLR8.
Could you post some pictures of your conversions? I'd love to see them.

can we see them?

Sorry that it runed out like that for you. It was a nice idea.

I still want to see what you made out of it though.

sure gonna post pics up after I get home from the boxing day sales

Update-grrrr my cousins' mums just came to our house and returned the figs I gave them because they were fighting over them. My mum said no that's their christmas gift and went to my modelling station and gave the ones that I made to keep them happy now I don't even have a single one left! gggrrrrrrrrr.
Guess that I have to make myself new ones :(

I just went back to the market and bought some more of those figs. I will post pics of them if any one wants to see what I gave them
