NIGHTHATER Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Ha there all I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find nice looking metal or plastic bits for me to modify my figures. I'm really looking for some nice hands with 6 shooters/revolvers in them. Wouldn't mind some shotguns, winchester rifles, buck knives, tomaks, you know really hardcore Cowboys and Indians stuff to enhance my models. I will be using them to modify the look of some of my 1.5 models. Anyone got a good place to start. Thank you, Nighthater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xGIxJOKERx Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I would give Reaper a shot, they have this set: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Savage%20Worlds/latest/59026 You can order just one section of that set if you want only the historical weapons, or only the steampunk stuff, for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTHATER Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 XgixjokerX, Wow thank you I though I have search the whole earth well, but I missed this even though I've been on Reapers site alot. I often use Reaper miniatures for proxies or conversions. Nighthater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Just remember that the Reaper scale is a lot smaller than Wyrds. The Hats particularly may not look right on Wyrd Models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Footman Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 scales seem close enough between reaper and wyrd to not be too noticeable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 They aren't, Reaper is small 28mm scale where as Malifaux is 32mm scale. Though that 4mm may seem insignificant at scale your talking about nearly a foot difference. I have tried to use the Reaper Hats in particular and found them noticeably smaller. If you are decent at sculpting it can be remedied with green stuff but if you are looking for a right out of the blister solution you might find them wanting. The weapons and equipment are much less noticeable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note I can't sculpt at all, not even a little . What other options are there really? Nighthater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Footman Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 oh, maybe i didn't see much difference because i've largely used the whole model, or malifaux bits on a reaper model. I can see where if you're just using a hat or somehing, it might be more noticeable then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xGIxJOKERx Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I have this set at home, I can take some comparison pictures for you if you like. I find that Reaper minis, especially the Savage Worlds line is more 32mm than 28mm. The Malifaux scale is honestly all over the place and depending on what model you are planning to use, these should work fine. Even if they are a bit small, that may be more true to life than the large chunky weapons most heroic scale models have. What base model are you planing on using? I may have it and can put it side by side for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTHATER Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 XgixjokerX, The main model I was thinking about using the 6 shooters on was the Male Gunsmith (arcanist) 1.5 model. His guns are just so stupid looking. Thank you for all your help homie... Nighthater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xGIxJOKERx Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Here you go: Hope that helps. Now that you mention it, I may do the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTHATER Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 XgixjokerX, Hmm thank you for the Pic, I really appricate it. Man thoses look pretty dam close to me, cut the hand small holes in the hands and the wrists, then small pins. I don't know what do you think?

xGIxJOKERx Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yeah, that is what I'm thinking. It is pretty dead-on. If anything, the hands look a little better on the Reaper guns. I may try it this weekend and post the results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 The weapons are much closer to scale, the hats are where I noticed the biggest difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTHATER Posted October 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 XgixjokerX, Sweet so I can take all the credit for the idea if it works without any of the risk if it doesn't....Just Kidding. In all seriousness if your going to try it (and it's fully up to you) please post the results afterward. Thoses 6 shooters look so much better then thoses other pistols. It reminds me of my steampunk joke I say. Oh were doing steampunk ok everyone take off their clothes and put on clothes that look stupid. Now everyone turn in their guns for these guns that look stupid. Ok now draw stupid looking stuff from this box and attach it to yourselves and your gear. Yep were steampunk now.

xGIxJOKERx Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Here is the finished product. I think it looks pretty good. I adjusted how his wrists are posed to a more natural position. The hands are maybe a little big, but not much. It may have looked better if I replaced only the guns but that would have been more work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTHATER Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 xGIxJOKERx, Dude that looks rad to me, and the hands look close enough right? I'm all on board with this idea now....sweet! I kinda wish you got a lot more 6 shooters for the price because I have to do stuff like this to a few models when I finally get around to it.

xGIxJOKERx Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yeah, I'm pretty happy how it came out. The hand thing is just me nit-picking. If you order from Reaper's webstore you can get just the traditional guns without all the other stuff for $2.16 so that's not too bad. It comes with a Winchester and a sawed-off as well. Shipping is a bit of an issue then, but if you can find someone to go in on it with you, I think shipping is free on orders over $35. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requirement Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 That model actually looks really good. I particularly like how his hands are pointed in a way that doesn't look like it hurts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTHATER Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 xGIxJOKERx, Well whenever you get around to painting this rad conversion post it up will ya? What are you thinking colors and the base wise? Nighthater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
