Looks great! Means you still have a 'suited up' Deathstroke, and an awesome Slade. Stick a cane or scabbard in his other hand and you're golden!

I have tried a variety of sticks. Looks rubbish. Going with gun

If at first you don't succeed, give up and bring a gun to a knife fight......

Not sure I got that right

^
This, I am much happier with.

Lot of gs work to do, especially at wrists, neck and to add details to the piece of sprue that is being a pistol. Still, the barrel's drilled

@Paradigm funnily enough I don't own any Deathstroke. This is my solution, using the discarded remnants of others I also have a tweedle dum body I'm considering using for an extra genetic fat Cop. The secret plan with the Deathstroke head is to press mold and make him an army of Deathstroke militia

Congratulations graven! You've made.... a normal guy.

The irony is not lost on me!

The building continues. Shaping the handgun:


And building a second generic Fat Cop, using tweedle dum (or is it Dee?)


Ref pic

Planning to have the nightstick left hand and torch right (ie reverse of the regular).

Separate question, for Deathstroke's base I want it to be 2-tone like his mask half dark metal, but other half rust, or cobbles?

What about some kind of grating or something on Slade's base?

Interested in where the cop conversion goes, I was under the impression that the TDs were somewhat bulkier that regular models, but I've not seen them in person so I don't actually know.

That's a possibility, it's more about making sure the base is 2-tone. Yes, tweedles are chunky but it's fat Cop, after all

Maybe for the base do a really heavily rusted side with the metal, that way you get the orange half of the original mask?

I might incorporate both those ideas actually, and have a wee grate that mirrors the one on the mask.

Also:
Another conversion question for the hivemind. I'm turning Tweedle dum into another Fat Cop (reallllllly fat cop!), but the head bothers me. Do I:
Pad out a regular head with gs flab?
Use a Heroic scale head?
Gs from scratch?
Or other?

oi mate

depending on how fat fat is for you, you could get away with a heroic scale one...

also...if you´re in need of some more cops and SWAT guys...i have some of the copplestone future wars stuff...

and...my deepest heartfelt congrats to your newest family addition...something in me is even envious about having the opportunity to get grey hair by having sorrows for a small girl...


and.......sorry for being away that long...´m a bit wretched...

It's... alive! Mein Gott!

Yeah, I may take you up on that. The real challenge is finding things that work for the generic female cop, generic detective and generic male/fat cop.
Thanks bud. Apparently, daughters are there to repay the sins of the fathers as young men so screwed...
Chin up, fella, good to have you back!

So here is Fat Cop with his gw head, and left hand with torch:

Right hand will have the baton, not sure whether raised above head or across body - thoughts?

Slade is now built :

And for his base I cut a section out of one I'd made as plain treadplate and made a grille:

The dot of gs is where his left foot will go, the right behind the grille.
Nearly there
Cheers
Graven

Good work, Graven.

Padding out a head with GS does work, as seen here on Inso's thread: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/180/610017.page#8452638

But that head you have there seems to work just fine.

Cheers. That's a useful (and jolly interesting) link! I think the problem with using a regular KM head is that's it's still proportioned too small for that body.
I think my arm solution will be to be a paperclip armature and try it in a few positions. Because of the preexisting shoulder angle, raised up may look weird.

Think the grate needs a frame?

frame is needed...
also...i have a femme detective...ach heck i was planning on packing some stuff for certain peeps for what feels like a millennia^^

also...my youth was sinless..more or less...so i probably wouldn´t have to pay that much...

also...is he holding some kind of sabre?...edged weaponry with police is a bit ...well...odd...

Frame is done!



Any and all gubbins gratefully received!

Bloke with sword is Deathstroke, not a cop

Fat Cop has arm!

i am far more firm with marvel than DC...mea culpa..

will be putting stuff together...btw... how do the DC models scale towards GW and reaper and so on? do you have comparison shots?... i expect them to be slimmer and taller?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
frame looks a tad wobbly?
and i actually cant tell if that is an arm there with the cop...

Conversions look great, graven! Keep up the good work.

Size comparison :

Cop only had lower arm in previous pic. Now, he has no head - with everything else it looked too big, so back to idea of flabbing up a km head.
Frame now attached and primed

Cheers mate!

funny reaction...you add an arm and loose the head...

but the baton arm looks very good!

size comparison appears to make cobblestone minis work...hmmhhmmhhhmmm

Thanks mate. Don't worry, he has a head again:

Tweaked the arm slightly, baton reversed so facing forward, ready to clobber someone. Flesh has been added to cheeks, chin, back of neck
I shall probably add some food litter to his base, perhaps a box of Lard Lad donuts. big belly burger stuff appears on several bases already, alternatively.
Slade will get painted, and then Batwoman's next, followed by Killer Croc, in theory!

Cool. I've never worked with models that size and applaud your skills, I can't even convert Space Marines without making a hash of it.

EDC

Cheers EDC. Patience, mostly

Getting there. Is the contrast on the base enough?

Had to remake his left hand in gs also. Scale was slightly off

...and

So, made some tweaks. Think the tie is still a bit meh, and ramped up the contrast on the base. Next, I need to blend and smooth the highlights down.

Coming along nicely, he definitely looks the part and the base is great!

Yeah, I think if you blend him out a bit so there's a more even transition between the darks and the lights... you'll really have something.

I think his cane and gun need to be a different color than him. Or was this intentional?

What Gits' said. Keep at it.

Good job on scratch-building the gun too.

Hey! There's a chemical vat on the top of the Dakka front page!
