Very nice indeed. Are the tanks built from scratch or have you used parts from other models?

Nice going just converting an Imperial Regular into a RL & Medic specialist at the moment a lot easier as they are plastic  ;)

Also if you had removed the skull they are standing on the pose would be a little more leaning forward as if they were striking with the sword, just an idea.

I actually snipped the hand from sword ands scabbard piece and used the hand alone to look as if it's holding the weapons intsead. 

I put the scabbard piece on the hip and on the back for effect.

The tank is a GW catachan flamer bit (I found .99 for 5 on Ebay).

@Semai - Not a bad idea about the skull - it will depend on my laziness factor.  ;)

Nice work but I do have a question and I hope I do not upset you by asking it -- Why did you put a fuel tank on his back when the flamer has a small bottle tank in the magazine position?

I dunno - I thought about that - but liked the look of the back tank for my chem sprayer concept -

I guess in my (mildly warped) mind I think of the front container as a catalyst that mixes and activates with the chemicals in the back tank for a ****tail of death (or at the very least, extreeeeeme discomfort!

I did end up removing the skull on one - looks good but it's more work than its worth, at least for me .  Still a good suggestion! 

Thnx

Hi D,

Lets have a picture of how it turned out, shouldn't have been too much of a problem with a saw  ??? as it looks a straight cut.

It was the tools I was using I'm sure.  I'm pretty primitive and do most of my conv. with a pliers - not a saw.  BTW - what kind of saw do you use?

For cutting I use a Jeweler's saw (also known as a fret saw), or an exacto knife depending on the kind of cut.
