Title: Egyptian Camel Corp Conversion suggestions
Post by: tschuma on 22 May 2012, 03:34:52 PM
Must be a Colonial theme today!

Would it be easier to use the British Camel Corp and modifiy the helment into a fez or swap heads out?  I think I cna modify the helmet easier then swapping heads.

Thanks

Tom

I've not got figures to hand, Tom, but I think you're right: some judicious scalpel / filing action is most likely going to be simpler I think...

I've just asked Dave on this one, and he reckons chopping the heads is easier than filing down to the fez?   :-\

You could always ask our resident Techno for a conversion!

Well a little work with the knife and dremel tool and 13 figures later:

Still working on getting better pics. once I clean up the bases, I will post a better pic, but triming the helmets was the easiest.  Might have to order another bag.....  ;)

Also trying to clear off the table for the Fuzzy Camels that are on order.

Your conversions are cool.
Fezes are cool!
Really nice job!







Did I say Fezes are cool at any point?
I wear a fez...
