This is a separate topic just for my conversions.

First, here is my Mordor Orc Drummer (M150). To quote Ken Crawford: “this figure is a cast conversion by ‘no name’ (see the other thread), which is now changed. It started life as M150.” For my part, I added the drum and batons.

Next, here is a Uruk Hai (M94). I bent his arm and changed his weapon.

Next, here is a Morgoth Orc (M222). I cut the end of the spear off and added a scoop full of hot coals.

… even Orcs have to eat sometimes. I hope these coals are not for barbecue and steaks from human flesh. 😡 bleaahhh

I’m joking… He should still put the cooking chef hat… 😆

Nice to see those conversions George….

Note: I’m sure this would have been easy for Master Caster! For me it was very difficult and tested my patience. There were 7 pieces glued together (6 pieces just for the arms and halberd).

He will be used in my Rangers of Ithilien diorama.

Nice. But somehow the arms seem to look a tiny bit too long?

Yeah, I’m wondering that too from the photos. But it looks fairly proportioned in person. I’m not sure if it’s the camera angle.

I used the same arms that came with the regular model (had to separate the left arm from the shield) and swapped hands with a different model. Maybe when I bent the arms, it sort of distorted them a bit. Or maybe I got a wee bit more “wrist” with the new hands.

I’ll have to be careful about that next time.

Thanks everyone!

You did very well George! That’s how you create Masters. All made out of little pieces put together.

Here is my Stone Giant. Instead of hurling a boulder, he is tossing a meddlesome orc! Also, no giant is complete without a massive spiked club and a waterskin.

This will be part of a diorama at some point in the future. Perhaps distant future!

PS: I actually think this is not a very good sculpt. Most of Master Tubbs’ are much better. So I figured I’d change it to suit my taste.

May I add a little comment on the spiked club… the base of the club, or the handle if you prefer looks quite large (in diameter) to be firmly hold even by a stone giant (if you look at his hands) he would hardly grip the club and even if wielding it by two hands it would be awkward…I think the base diameter should be reduced a bit to allow a firm grip around it.

but anyway, that’s a very cool conversion
