nice conversions, but I don't like the first one. The position of the legs and arms is unnatural, and there's a huge mold line on the back of his arm...

(ps: please read the sticky about posting pics in this forum ;))

I've seen them, I've seen them - in person :)

Several notes from me:

* in case of running minis the legs need to be postioned in a bit different way. This way they look a bit weird, kicking to the sides. Maybe cutting the feet off and repositioning them would help?

* the conversions need some more patience, the minis need cleaning, trimming, removing mold lines, etc. They are well thought, well planned, but spending half an hour per mini more, just to make it cleaner and neater would change a lot!

Go on anyway - I like the changed design of the bolter, and the sergeant's backpack!

Hey! Be gentle thats my firs marines ever :D :oops:

This mold line will be correct (i hope so). Next time I will be trying to spend more time with cleaning. I was afraid to cut a feet. Because I cannot sculpt so I wasn't sure If I can correct mistakes.
As to the arms IMHO they look natural, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thank you for your comments

The right arm okay, but the left one (with the gun) has its palm facing upwards which is wrong IMO.
Imagine yourself running with a 10 kg heavy bolter :)

everything looks difficult until you give it a go and have some practice in it...
