3.75 inch figure conversions Kelvin Nolan

Added to my recent Black Tower and Golden Age (British) characters is....a 3.75 inch figure conversions of Kelvin Nolan and his Helmet of Power (still needs a bit of work.  The Greek style helmet had to be hand made using Milliput.



Notice anything in the image below?  Yep, he has a t-shirt on that is so him!

Below and you will squint but to save you doing that I will tell you it is a photo of  glamour model/singer Sam Fox.



Oh my camera did a lovely close up!  You may ask how I painted such a good image which is roughly less than a centimetre in size?

I didn't.

A while back I bought a 3.75 inch custom made Arnim Zola and when I got it realised that the face on the chest tree was Toby Jones who played the character in Captain America and Winter Soldier movies. It was a tad dark but I suddenly thought that this was a way to add detail that I could not paint.

I took an image and brightened it up a little then re-sized to 1 cm and printed it out, stuck it on the figures then PVA glue over it to keep the image permanent (you may like to use varnish of some sort.

This would be a lot easier on a 6 inch (15cms) figure and I offer the idea up to any converters out there because you CAN convert 3.75 inch figures -they are not "too small" and if I can do this anyone can.
