Wurmwood Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) I love the artwork for Collodi on his box and Rising Powers book, especially his long fingers. I was a bit disappointed that they were so stubby on the actual mini, so I decided to see if I could get a little closer to how the picture portrays them. I just happened to have some hands in my bitz collection for Necro Flayed Ones from back when I was trying to do a Gauntlet of Power on my Dark Elf general. I thought they looked pretty similar, so I just shortened them up a bit, rounded them so they look more like fingers and filed/cut some joints in them. Here's what I have so far: [Edit: Collodi finished]: Edited September 28, 2011 by Maerius Added finished model with Marionettes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 That's a great idea, really gives him a more creepy look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaBreadMen Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Lovely look, much more menacing. Are the hands pinned on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurmwood Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Lovely look, much more menacing. Are the hands pinned on? Yes, I drilled straight through the cuff, so the pin goes from the hand, through the cuff and into the arm. Just have to green stuff the edges a little now.

Vin Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Great idea, it looks awesome painted up. I think a few people will snag this idea, myself included, once your pic starts to get noticed on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurmwood Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) I think I'm going to have his eyes glow green with a bit of source lighting from them.

Hatchethead Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Vastly superior to the original sculpt. Really, that's all that's needed to bring Collodi in line with the expectation I had of the artwork. Best part is, it's a tourney legal conversion. Well done!
