Title: Converting somet Minibits sells into Retro Girl from Powers tv show
Post by: Roy on 27 June 2017, 10:48:33 AM
Leon sent a figure to me through Col. Bill's, a Crossover Miniatures superhero that Minibits stock [see relevant other post HERE (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,16173.0.html)]. I've used that FURY (http://www.minibits.net/Fury-p628/) stock figure as the basis for a conversion of Retro Girl from the Powers tv show.

These photo's show the first few hours spent converting.

I had to delete the apostrophe in the thread title to get this 'Hacking Attempt' entry to post.
I did read through (well, skimmed through) the "hacking attempt" thread elsewhere on the forum  :-B

Nice conversion work. Are the Crossover Minatures 10 or 15mm?

Roy, I am not familiar with the character, but your conversion is exact on, and should paint up nicely. Well done in my book!

Looks pretty much like the TV show to me.  :-bd

Did it ever get a second series?

Thanks everyone. Not finished, yet - only about 50% done, and left till the first parts had cured. I'm on painting the Leopard Girl figure at the moment.

Powers tv show got two series and then was cancelled, on a cliff-hanger ending.
