AbusePuppy Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'm working on putting together a Colette crew and one model that comes up a lot is Howard Langston. Now, Hank is a great guy and all but I feel like he is a bit... out of sorts with the rest of the showgirls- and also I know that if I buy the Ramos starter I'll end up filling out that crew as well, which I should probably hold off on.) So I'm looking for ideas for something else that could be turned into a good conversion for ol' Hank. My best one so far is Hannah- with a bit of re-working to add some steam vents and mechanical cabling and claws (which is pretty doable, since I have a large box of spare bitz to work from) she seems like she'd be a very passable conversion, but I'm not married to the idea yet. Obviously anything I use will have to be on a 50mm base and will ideally be roughly the same size as him. Can anyone else suggest any good stand-alone kits that might work?

solkan Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I don't know if it'll be conveniently available to you (or if you want to wait for the next sale that Wyrd makes it available to you) but Miss Step is a nice alternate sculpt. Here's an in-forum link to one: The instructions image: http://www.wyrd-games.net/plastic-build-instructions/2015/7/22/miss-step Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I had seen Miss Step, but since the Ebay ones are going for $65+ right now I feel like I'd rather do something else, since she doesn't specifically fit with the showgirls crew (aside from being another female model, of course.) I mean, if anyone is unloading one on the cheap I sure wouldn't turn it down, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Miss Step might be for sale from Wyrd during easter, which is just a month away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hmm, good to know; I was aware they did Halloween sales, but wasn't sure of what other sorts of events they have going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelich Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 According to Wyrd Chronicles #22 Miss Step is the promotional model that they will send you if you buy $60 or more at a LGS in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmac Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Anybody know if the $60 dollar target counts for canadian dollars too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian dollars are okay, but you need US $60, so whatever that works out to in Canadian dollars. Or, at least, that's from the fact that each of the previous promotions has included "Local currencies accepted, as long as the total is equivalent to __ USD or more."

Currently, a bit over $80 CAD. Our dollar is pretty awful right now :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carasz Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I've got two versions of Miss Step for this reason. The first one was just a regular one, but I wanted a specialized one to go with Colette. So I bought another Miss Step and exchanged the human part of her body with parts from a Rotten Belle (with greenstuff to fill in the wounds). She's still got the gigantic claw, but in the other hand she holds an umbrella. It's not perfect, as she tilts her head just a bit too much and her facial expression is a bit off, but from a distance it's fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
