In the wake of such an overwhelmingly positive response to the Safe House 2014 batreps I thought it would be nice to give you all a closer look at some of the miniatures used in the campaign.
________________________________________________________________
A.J.
First up is one of my own survivors from the campaign.
A.J. is an experimental conversion I did a day or two before the event. His legs and torso are from the upcoming Bridges and Zeke figures from Project Zeke Miniatures as is his backpack, available now as part of our new Survivor Gear Pack.
A little modelling putty and a head I had lying around from a Horace 'Action' Jackson from Reaper Miniatures and A.J. (geddit?) was ready to bust a move.

Jake
Jake is another conversion using the body of "Herb" by Rogue Miniatures, a Travelling Tweedy Head from Crooked Dice and a MOLLY pack from The Assault Group to complete the 'survivalist' look. This guy is actually my personal favourite...even if he's not one of my sculpts.

HANK
This next fellow got a fair bit of play time throughout Safe House but it occurred to me that there weren't really any good pictures of him in the reports. So allow me to present Codename: HANK.
This is another converted PZM mini that I did last year using a P-Sec body with the silencer trimmed off the weapon and a simple head swap for a US Gas Mask Head from West Wind Productions.
And he bears a certain resemblance to a beloved video game character of mine. No prizes for originality for me.

Spec Ops
Last up is the Spec Ops character that appeared very briefly at the end of Act 3. He was originally intended for use as the chopper pilot but I scrapped that idea and only found a use for him out of sheer happenstance.
However, even though he played virtually no part at all in the campaign, I thought I'd take the opportunity to shamelessly show off another simple P-Sec conversion possibility.
Using a different model to HANK, I trimmed the silencer again filed down the rim of his helmet. A couple of rows of holes were then drilled into the sides to finish off the tactical helmet look. Lastly, I added another PZM backpack and got painting (connoisseurs among you may appreciate what I was attempting with the face mask). I really want to do some more of these.

That's it for another day but there will be more Safe House bonus material coming your way in due course.
Catch up on all of the Safe House action below:
They are all great Conversions love the A.J and Jake ones you should make yourself one up and sell him in the store.
ReplyDeleteThe Herb Conversion is just great I love bow and xbow mini's so I may get another and shamelessly copy yours. I have a second Dixon coming in the post...........
Conversions are the single reason for me not owning a Porsche. That and I don't earn enough.
DeleteGreat work dude. Really like A.J. and Jake, others are cool too, they are just my favourites.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the last guy's helmet and the fangs are cool as penguin pee.
Best. Saying. Ever. Consider "Cool as penguin pee" well and truly stolen. Thanks a million, mate.
DeleteSuperb conversions. AJ is definitely my fave one
ReplyDeleteCheers, dude. Mine too ;-)
DeleteFantastic conversions! Civilians are great, but the uniformed pals are not far behind. Everything looks better with a gas/face mask!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Gas masks are like z-poc steroids.
