I love conversions & scratch building more than ready made kits.It is just my opinion but if you are talented painter,it seems a shame to waste that on a boring/average figure.MortiS has an 'eye' for interesting subjects & if he cannot buy them,he creates them.Likewise if you are a talented modeller,its a shame to just do 'off the shelf' kits.
Very wise to emphasise the 'human' legs & a good tip to weigh down figures if they are unstable-I neglected to address this problem on a Sevans plastic Earthshock Cyberman model(12" tall) with a resin head.........eventually it fell over & broke the 'ears' & it was time consuming fitting new ones.After that I made a wooden base.
One missing detail-Did you buy the base with stone flags on it or did you make that out of green stuff?That purple was a good choice.........................The whole thing reminds me of "The Fly" original film(60's) with Vincent Price.
