Help requested for a scarecrow conversion idea

Post by Not Evil Mat »

Hey everyone,

I had in idea for a kind of creepy, Halloweenish, agri-world guard unit. I have been searching around for a scarecrow like head for a head swap. I was thinking maybe one of the Scarecrow models from Heroclix might work, but I cant seem to fine a decent picture of one of them on the internet. If ho have one of heroclix scarecrows and don't minding snapping a pic I would appreciate it.

Also, if anyone knows about a place where I could fine a similar type of head that is actually made for a head swap let me know!

Thanks!

You could use these. You get 10 to a lot. Four are blank faces, though. So, you'd have to throw them out, use them as base decoration or -my cheapass favorite- PAINT pumpkin faces on them.

Same as above, but more models in the lot.

Out of stock and expensive... but kind of cool.

Thanks Guys!

I had found the stuff from anvil before, but they look to be more SM sized than IG/AM. I like the look of the Old Glory Minis. I really like the look of the Rafm mini's I was thinking of that scary burlap mask look.

Thanks again.

You're putting pumpkin heads on IG bodies, and you're worried they might be too big?
; )

Ever compared your own head to a pumpkin? It should be smaller than many... SHOULD be. : )

Horrorclix had a model called Wacko Jacko that was parody to Michael Jackso. Wacko Jacko is supposedly the name the UK press called MJ.
They were supposed to be ultra rare, but instead were common. I had 5,6? and sold all but 1.
They run $4 each +shipping on Ebay. Seach "Wacko Jacko".
Heh, I was called a Grognard. ;-)
