Zacharius Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm thinking of getting Seth in the near future, but I have a thing about marines not wearing helmets. (In that I don't like it). I was just wondering if Seth's model comes with the head attached to the body, or is it a seperate piece? It'll make my decision easier as to whether I do a simple head swap, or make a counts-as model instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamwulf Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 His head is attached. Sorry. But he has a really skinny neck if that means anything. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabgoi Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 If you have a dremel its not that big of a deal to take care of a little metal head. Take a jeweler's saw and cut it at the base, or a pair of snips for that matter. Lock him in a vise and take a grind wheel to flatten the top more or less. Then both dremels I have came with a rounded cone grind bit that you could center on the neck and make a mount for the head. It would probably take less then five minutes to do all told. Pop in any head you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacharius Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Alas, I don't have a dremel, or know anyone who does. Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure something out. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 For converting metal figures, a dremmel is as close to essential tools as you can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volchek Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I converted/scratch built a Seth. I hate metal minis for 2 reasons: Cost and hard to convert without tools like Dremels. I used the following: Assault Marine legs Blood Angels torso (DC or SG chest) DC Thunderhammer arms DC backpack with the spiked halo Chaos chainsword bald SM sgt head (simply replace this with a helm from the DC or SG kit that suits you) Cut the thunderhammer head off and replace with the Chaos chainsword, creating a 2 handed chainsword with fully exposed chain teeth. If you assemble the model using Seth as a guide, there is a set of both DC legs and Assault Marine legs that are very close to the pose of Seth's legs.
