Desperate Merceneries

As usual my girlfriend has been sneaking around behind my back with the staff at Titan Games covertly buying me presents.....

Though these models are actually designed for a game produced by Freebooter Miniatures they are similar enough in style and scale to have become my first choice when requiring proxies for Wyrd Miniatures/Malifaux models. I don't really like using duplicate models if I can avoid it so on occasions when I need a 4th of something that there is only three of I have to look around at other options.

In this case I required four Desperate Merceneries for a crew idea I've been toying with but unfortunately of the two produced by Wyrd I only really like the female one. These are my solutions to that issue,

Desperate Mercenary 1

This is a Freebooters Miniatures model called 'Spitfire'. The model itself comes holding a wooden stave and has a cutlass that is normally attached to the belt. With some minor conversion work I removed the stave from around the hand and after cutting the handle from the cutlass I carefully glued the two together and am quite happy with the result.

Desperate Mercenary 2

This model is called 'Dixie Dynamite'. All I changed was the position of the left hand as on the original model it's just sort of waving about like she's showing off her nails, lol. I just re-angled it so it was nearer the cocking mechanism of the gun.

Desperate Mercenary 3

This model is called 'Regicide'. All I changed was the position of the Flintlock Pistol (In the manufacturers picture the gun is across her front but I felt that obscured much of the model detail).

I'll undercoat these as soon as it stops raining, lol.

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.
