It's a cool idea but don't you think those guard rifle arms look kinda off-scale on him??..I like the wigwam though

I do think they aren't to scale, which I think is great because it give them that disproportionate midget (no offense to anyone who is such) look and they will easily be identified as Ratlings due to the big guns.

I also think this is by far the easiest way to make these guys, just do some clipping and gluing done

I like this very much!! A brilliat idea actually Might borrow it if I can. i sort f agree that the arms look odd, I think more so because of the shoulder pads really

In what form do the goblins come in i.e. are the arms detachable or have you had to do a bit of cutting to get their original arms off?

Wow, really nice. Never seen anyone use goblins for ratling conversions. Some advice towards future conversions, remove the mold lines before you start painting.
