A great part of the hobby, everyone should have a go, even it is just a simple head swap, or a plastic kit bash. Lets see some pics Wink

Well I have no real idea about conversion, sculpting and scratch building. But having spent a lot of time looking through Lemminspawns posts I've concluded you can use just about anything, and it's a good idea to have loads of tat to muckk about with.

Anyway, thought I'd re-post a load of links to his stuff
It will either put you right off or leave you completely inspired

Well i just started by having an awsome idea, getting some pics off the internet for reference and sitting in front of my computer copying the designs and just having a go.
If you know what you want to achieve and you are patient it ain't to hard to get some nice results.

The only tools i have are the standard GW sculpting tool and a really fine almost knife like one from an art shop down st benedicts (that one cost me abot £8-£10 though).
Thats all i have really needed to do all of my conversions so far.

Finally found the charger.
