Subject: Thoughts on correcting the current csm plastic troopers
Hey Today i was working on fixing some of the glareing proportion problems on the current csm models. The legs in my opinion are too short and lead to gorilla arms hanging over the ankles when the arms are fully extended. The conversion work done on the model on the left only involved lenghtning the legs.

there are a bunch of tutorials on the dakka tutorials board if you want to explore more.
does this even count as true scale. I was just wondering about the proportions, not size of the kit. But yes there are some fantastic articles on dakka regarding truescale.
I tend to lengthen the legs too on my marines. But I also lengthen the hip area slightly, giving them around 3mm additional height in total. Just a little plasticard spacer into the upper and the lower leg with putty to hide it.
