28mm busts
I had a crazy idea last weekend, but I'm not sure if it has been done before.
I want to try to cut up a regular 28mm figure to create a bust from it.
The idea behind this is to have a smaller paint surface to try out new things without having to paint the entire figure or put time into making a base. I have some 40k figures on which I want to try out this.
So what do you think? Crazy?

If anyone can do it you can
Getting back into the thick (or rather thin as in thinning my paints) of it, not picked up a brush in some time so this may hurt a bit until I get used to the feel of them again

sounds like madness that I could actually like
Re: 28mm busts
what are you going to do with the lower parts of the models?
miniatures painted:
2011 - 83, 2012 - 38, 2013 - 45, 2014 - 56, 2015 - 95, 2016 - 106, 2017 - 22

Re: 28mm busts
You could create a leg monster ! or replace all your gaming vehicle's wheels with legs but still 28mm bust is a funny but novel idea show us results !
Re: 28mm busts
think of it this way: new Space Wolves will come with 44 heads for just 10 miniatures. Also 28 shoulder pads.
So you can create leg-stomach-shoulderpad-head monsters

Re: 28mm busts
Ok time to get this thread back on track
I've been cutting up a plastic Black Reach Terminator last night. I've made a rough cut just beneath the breast plate and used my Dremel to create a flat surface, slightly diagonal so I ended up just beneath the 'exhaust' grill of the backpack. Both arms have also been cut.
I still need to clean some moldlines off the arms so I haven't completely assembled the bust yet.
I don't think a Terminator is the best figure for this because off the big shoulder pads. This bust is three times as wide as it is high
