Finally I won a paining competition. Q3 Bromad Academy Contest had conversion as their theme.

I converted Knight Hospitaler Medic to Father Officer de Fersen. Although he has his official mini (even two) I really hate it – it is probably my least liked mini in whole present range.

The conversion was rather simple:

  1. Cut off medic’s bag on his right side and sculpt some wrinkles of the tabard instead with some greenstuff.
  2. Cut off the sword and replace it with 3d-printed spitfire (Monstrous Makings on Thingiverse).
  3. Cut off head/helmet and replace it with 3d printed one (from one of U9’s civilians).
  4. Cut off his medikit together with his hand and replace it with 3d printed one (from different U9’s civilian).
  5. Cut off his left forearm and turn it accordingly to imitate “hacking hand” – a pose characteristic for hacker minis in whole Infinity universe.
  6. Add sheathed longsword of my own design to his left side (again, 3d printed).

 

Painting was quite fast, main bulk of the armour was painted with Phtalo Blue (green hue) and highlighted with mixture of turquoise, white and a drop of bismuth yellow. Tabard started as mixture of cadmium red and some blue (probably phtalo) and was highlighted with pure cadmium red. Shadows on all colours are accentuated with mixture of magenta and phtalo blue (with a bit of black to kill some saturation).
