Foundry Converted Female Survivor

This is one of the figures I was intending of using as one of Brummies Angels an all group of female secret agents etc. Well the idea shortly fell on its ass as not long after i bought/converted all the miniatures some great female figures where released by Crooked Dice so the idea now is to use those instead.

So any way this was one I converted a fair bit. I've added a grenade/pouch from a space marine scout sprue as well as sculpting some extra pouches on the the back. I've use putty to cover the stomach and extend the top. The shorts have been filed down so that the look like skinny jeans and the roller skates have been converted into the huge biker style boots with the metal strips all over them. One thing I like about this miniatures is the fact she is holding the SMG left handed. I am right handed myself but when firing a rifle I automatically use my left hand? I've included a picture of the Foundry pack she is from so you can see what she looked like before hand.

Posts will probably tail off a little bit in the next few weeks as I need to get my diorama finished off for Christmas eve.

  9. Gotta go with Fran and Clint, yours looks better by far, this is a sculpt I would buy not the original. Kudos for seeing the potential in the fig, and great paint as usual.

  13. That is one of the better conversions I've seen. I'm not a huge fan of the original figure with the skates an all, but you've made her into a respectable survivor. Well done!

  14. That conversion is absolutely superb Brummie, if you hadn't said it was a conversion I wouldn't have been able to tell, not knowing the original. (Better than the original too)

  20. I don't like the original either--she's a really badly done 1990s roller-blader. I like the conversion a lot better. I never noticed the left-handed part! BTW to me her sculpt looks like a guy in drag. Perhaps that could become part of "her" backstory? ;-)

  21. That's a lovely subtle conversion. Always love to see figures which you don't realise have been changed until its pointed out.

    Regards,
