IMPACT! MINIATURES

Dark Lord · Joined: 23 May 2006 Posts: 2682

Just got these the other day and I am assembling them now.
These models are more fun that I thought they would be, and I thought they would be pretty fun!

I'm keeping my poses pretty simple; meaning I am using as little Pro-Create as possible, but I look forward to buying a few more sprues of these to make some more exotic poses!

The minis themselves are really cool and I can see a bunch of possibilities for expert modelers but more importantly, just like I thought, these minis are a great way for somebody without a lot of conversion skill to make a personalized team! There's infinite possibilities when you start mixing kits.

I would LOVE to see what I could do with these minis and my plastic zombies & skeletons! Or really any Grandma Wendy plastics!

Pics coming soon! (I want to at least prime them first)

Okay some quick sneak previews...

Yikes look at that mold line! I better get my files out again!

I think when I am done I will be filling in some of the gaps with Pro Create but for the most part the pieces fit together well and won't need it. The head/neck joint is hidden and the waist looks like like it needs a line there because of the jerseys. The only place I would think people will need green stuff are the shoulders but that's too be expected and can even be minimized by clever use of the shoulder pads.

Glory Hog poses! Most of them look like they are posing for the fans. I look forward to seeing them completed!

All of the pieces can also be found under the conversion sprues area of the store.

BTW Tom these will be done very soon. Possibly the end of the week, although if I don't get them done by Friday I have a wedding to go to on Saturday and a party to attend on Sunday, but I will finish them up by Monday or Tuesday, I hope.

My whole work load got thrown out of whack because I forgot that I had promised to donate some art for an AIDS charity auction. I was asked at my wedding, so of course I completely forgot about it. Since we moved all of my art is packed up still, so I had to scramble something decent together at the last minute.

So, they are coming soon, I promise!

They actually are the torsos off the sprue. But I didn't want the half-jersey, separated style of body you get from the normal leg/body combo, as seen on DL's figures, because that style didn't fit with the real-life team I was trying to recreate. So I just pinned the normal bodies to the legs -- after either filing the pieces down a bit to make shorter players, or adding to layer of thin plasticard between the pieces to make the taller players -- and then I used ProCreate to fill in the lower half of the body and smooth it out.

I'd linked directly to the post that had my put-together, primered figures as the end result, but if you go to the very first post of that thread, you'll see some preliminary shots of unfinished, unprimerd guys -- in those shots, you can see the grey ProCreate putty I used in filling out the normal body pieces.

Sorry, they come with the arms, legs, heads and shoulderpad sprues??? I'll have to have another look in the online store.

The body is on the sprue with a head and two pads. It's listed as "Head, Torso, 2 Shoulder Pads" in the store:

The two top pieces are the shoulder pads, the head is lower left, and the torso is lower right.
