Welcome to the Bi-monthly Sculpting and Converting challenge. This is an entirely open challenge so the subject matter will fall under....

Anything you like!

(As long as it is Middle-earth related!)

Image



In this challenge you have several options to take part:
- Sculpt from scratch (starting with or without armature/metal wire/...)
- Convert an existing miniature (to a new or another character or race/region, to change it's situation, rank, pose, wargear, ...)
You may sculpt/convert more than one character should you choose to do so but please bear in mind only 4 finished pictures can be submit for the vote.
Only one entry per person per challenge. So choose carefully!

2. To enter the Sculpting & Converting Challenge, the miniature you are converting must not be converted nor painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniature 'pre-converted'.
Re-converting an already converted miniature is NOT allowed!!
When sculpting from scratch, you must picture proof this with your blank armature/metal wire/... as well as a work-in-progress-picture as valid proof.
All "proof-pictures" MUST either have the announcement-screen of the running challenge in it's background, or contain a small note with the announced theme and date written on.


3. You may join the Sculpting & Converting Challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of your completed work by midnight GMT of MAY 31ST 2015 . WIP images are welcomed and encouraged.
You are allowed to use any sort of sculpting epoxy, as well as scratch build materials (such as metal wire, plasticard, rivets, chains, ...).
You are allowed to use parts from other miniatures (such as weapons, heads, banners, arms, horses, ...).
Your final work must stay UNPAINTED and ideally contain 4 pictures; showing FRONT, BACK, LEFT and RIGHT side. Final pictures MUST NOT be submitted using the attachment format. If you want them in the voting poll then please link them across from an image hosting site such as photobucket or imageshack. If you do not know how to do this, PM a moderator.


4. Miniatures that are completed in time will be eligible to win the challenge. The challenge winner will be decided by the vote of the OR community. The community will choose one winner and one runner-up from the completed sculpts/conversions. Votes should be cast not simply on sculpting skill, but on merit, including creativity, application of techniques, artist improvement, originality etc. There is no prize available for the winners of this challenge, the challenge is solely for community participation and as an incentive for people to improve their sculpting skills and to encourage creativity onto their shelves.


5. Winners from the previous month are able to participate in the next Sculpting & Converting Challenge, but they are not eligible to win in consecutive challenges.

I'm actually going to start my first conversion soon, Aragorn on rock-->Arathorn. 'Cause Arathorn's just too expensive. So I'll have to enter!

Needed something for the painting challenge.. so looked around and made something of what I had. Mostly Elves, Dwarves, Eagles, more Elves and some historical figures - which, at least, tended to be human - so mostly used various parts from those.

Proof pic:

Better shot of original figure:

And the result: intended to represent a Rohan King's Huntsman. Added chainmail, a hunting horn and a proper amount of hair to make him more Rohirrim.

Here we go, converting my spare mounted fellowship Boromir and my armored foot Boromir to make a Mounted armored version :D

Image

Had to cut Boromir off is horse and cut the foot Boromir in half while keeping his shield in good condition.

A few weeks later I put Boromir together had to file the contact point on the horse down a lot to make him look natural and so he doen't have 2 metre long legs lol.

Image

Image

Cut the cloak back a bit so he fits and this is what it looks like now with blue tack holding him together

There are some really nice entries here, I especially like the elf conversions to elves of mirkwood, they improve the old plastic models! The huntsman is very unique, a great idea and very well executed Coenus!

Here is proofpic for my man-at-arms of Dol Amroth:

And the finished miniature:

If you click on the pictures you can see them in original size!

I've misplaced my camera, I won't get pictures up today of my mediocre Feral Uruk-Hai. I had done four, and they had taken me weeks...
