My take on the unreleased old world jack mini.

[Commander Vyper]

So rather than hack my orginal up. I bought another from evilbay very cheaply and did some drive by green stuffing this am:

This is the unreleased one:

And this is my take after twenty mins of sculpting:


well chuffed.

Very clever, very cool! Great job

Wow, how on earth did you manage to get such a perfectly spherical surface? All my puny attempts on anything remotely spherical end in total failure (me shouting 'Balls!', which is the only way I come close to a sphere)

Lol

A good yellow blue mix, warm days and spittle!

Also i always cut out the strip in the middle where the yellow and blue 'stuff' join together. I find that bit can be quite lumpy.

Good luck mate.

I'm a great fan of drive-by 'hobbying' the same 'muse' this morning got all my nort pillboxes individually numbered, 14 souther trooper visors gs'd, some minor conversions to closed helmets on a few imperial guard/army minis, a harlequin jetbike rider torso and arm swop and a bit more green stuffery done.

Picking up a mini and just going for it in a completely spontaneous way is all pary of the fun!

I have been thinking of doing exactly the same

You beat me to it, so now please make a cast and send us less talented blokes a copy

Almost finished painting odd ball jack up. Just the backpack and boots to go.

Will post up pictures tomorrow.

That's a very neat bit of sculpting. I look forward to seeing the painted version.

Clever sculpting indeed - but why didn't you just scrape the original helmet clean and smooth with a scalpel?

 

[Jonas]

The original model has a head and not a helmet, the gelmet version is unreleased.
