The foot is pinned to the base, so he won't fall off from it, and he leans over the base so it isn't unbalanced. So it's all good!

I've started out on a headswap with an aragato biker and shinobi kitsune (i had a massive mold line on her and had to take away most tof the torso detail to get it off) I might post pics later once I finish it and can get the camera to focus properly.

I am completely unopposed to converting, and fully endorse it. But I haven't seen much Infinity conversions compared to, say, 40k, due to the facts that;

a. The models are metal. All of them. Metal is incredibly harder to work with, especially if you want to do something more than head swaps or slight limb rearrangement.
b. There are little to no 'bits' or extra parts. If you want to convert something, you either buy an entire model to chop apart, or work greenstuff like a demigod.

Then something happened this week that completely blew my mind.
One of the local guys I know at the store brought some Infinity models along with his usual 40k and WM stuff. What struck me was how I could barely recognize the Infinity models, they were completely converted and rearranged in poses you'd need incredibly thin pinning to accomplish. Very wicked stuff, definitely miles above simple head swaps, so I asked him how did he accomplish it?

He told me to pick one of them up, and I did, and I realized that they didn't weigh anything. So I asked him, did he sculpt them from greenstuff from scratch?

He flat out told me, no, he actually made a mold of all his figures and cast them in plastic.

I know for a fact that reproducing figures that are not your own is illegal, at least here in the US and Canada. But he did buy them, showed me unpainted, metal models he used to replicate them.
I still don't have a concrete opinion. Conversions are amazing, but duplicating them just seems wrong on many levels.
I'll see if I can snag a few pictures next time I see him, gonna bring a camera with me.

I think, law-wise, it's fine if it's only for personal use. He can't sell the figures. I'm not sure he can legally even give parts away.

I did more then swap a head less chimera comes with guns now. Though the body I did put another chimera's head on is from a completely different / obsolete game which just happens to fit in quite nicely xD
