lets look at the Converted Oldblood next! I called it Starblood because of the bibrant colors:

for the conversion I used the remaining tail bits from the troglodon box and a spare oldblood parts from the same kit to make the Starblood. the only piece I didn't use from this kit was an orc arm.this is great because it allows you to make two oldbloods and the troglodon out of the kit. magnetizing the hand to be able to change weapons

than I went on go make the cave for the goblin, using cold porcelain, rocks, sand and Branches. to give it a feeling of forgoten temple I made some broken slats using green stuff and cork

than I moved into the metal! The only trick here was using Scale Metal Colors! they are the best metalics I have tried so far, I used the coper range and just followed their sugested instruction. tjan I jus finished by adding some scratches to give it some more texture. I also did a light OSL at the guantlet to make it look ready to fire

On to finishing the skin and scales! here is just a question of blending and highlighting and adding small dots for texture

Doing one of these now very impressed. This conversion difficulty is high. Mine is similar but not the same. Thanks for your post about this.
