Moderator Froggy the Great Posted August 30, 2006 Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2006 Now that Cutebutpsycho has recieved it... YARR Squawk! Patrick the Penguin Pirate is perched proudly on a penny, positioned amidst his victims and pondering loot. He's about 12mm tall from flipper to beak, The hat was made of epoxy putty, as was the hilt of his cutlass. The cutlass blade was hammered out of a safety pin, and I did actually use a blacksmith's anvil in the process. The penguin miniature came from one of the Familiar Packs from Reaper Miniatures. Thanks to the Pirates of R'lyeh faction from Nexus War for the inspiration, though Patrick's too proud to waddle quite so well. From concept to photograph was about 4 hours.

Shakandara Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Awesome, Frosch! Great conversion work, nice little diorama setting, and a good-looking penguin paint scheme. This is my favorite of your recent posts. Can I hire you to do my Penguin Army of Doom for Warlord? ~v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeccoWafer Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Patrick is soooooooooo adorable!!! Just this itty, bitty, teeny, weeny, little guy with a big hat, a big sword and a skull sitting next to him to show he's one bad birdie! Shakandara will beg on his hands and knees to get one of those. -Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhandstudios Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 How adorable. What a cool conversion! How much spare time do you have to be in possesion of to think this stuff uP? Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted August 30, 2006 Author Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2006 It was hard to let him go, yeah. I'm glad he made it mostly safely, though. Really, the ideas just sort of happen, I go "SQUEEE" and run off somewhere, and after some anvil-related craziness, have a pirate penguin in just about 4 hours.

Lawgiver Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Cute little bugger. But you can't trust a Penguin.... They are always scheming. Good move getting him out of your house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 best part I thought of Madgascar was the silent scene in the Antarctica & the penquins. Great conversion work, love the hat!!! RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
