To be fair though, I was just looking for mermaids/men and any figure that looked kind of fishy for the main army. I've got a few larger creatures etc, so hopefully get something sorted.

I also like the <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LGZx6nmZAqg/UZPRfz_w6gI/AAAAAAAAAMI/UeMf2x9F3VQ/s1600/WoW1.JPG" rel="nofollow">murloc</a> figures (on the right) from the WoW board game, though you may have trouble finding them (I got lucky and found an incomplete set of the board game on eBay for cheap).<br /><br />For mermaids, there's this <a href="http://www.rebelminis.com/15picow.html" rel="nofollow">15mm model from Rebel Miniatures</a>, or these <a href="http://tonemodel.com/epages/www_tonemodel_com.sf/en_GB/?OrderBy=Relevance&OrderDesc=0&ViewAction=FacetedSearchProducts&SearchString=mermaid" rel="nofollow">HO scale figures from Preiser</a>. Both may be a little small, and either would be kind of an expensive way to make an army. I also think these <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cGGRy6zBZW8/UbuMsDaKOAI/AAAAAAAAAQc/IS-4yfCnius/s1600/AC-nuwa-driders.JPG" rel="nofollow">snake women figures</a> (discussed in <a href="http://cheapfantasyminis.blogspot.com/2013/06/arcane-legions-for-generic-fantasy.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a>) could make for good conversion possibilities.<br /><br />You could go the other way: find some tails from some fish minis that are about the right size (these <a href="http://safariltd.com/p/ocean-good-luck-minis-figurines-346422" rel="nofollow">Safari Ltd. critters</a>, possibly?) and swap them with the legs of some suitable 1/72 soldiers. Ironically, these <a href="http://www.miniknight.com/images/gallery/G86/seapeoplethomas.JPG" rel="nofollow">"Sea Peoples"</a> figures might fit the bill.1Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00347246355201436067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1614088065682049316.post-42396744304393020502013-11-03T16:36:25.800-06:002013-11-03T16:36:25.800-06:00These heads were a good find, I especially like th...These heads were a good find, I especially like the squid head. Mainly as it gives me hope of creating some 1/72 mer people. Are you aware of any mermaid/mermen/sea people etc in 1/72? Would like some to create an army for a Poseidon I have. I already have large sea monsters and some 1/72 dolphins/sharks/rays for riders if I can make some, but actual mer type people seem to be hard to find or too large.

What you suggest is more or less what I do for plastic heads. I guess I was trying to see if I could put the pinheads in the little recesses in the metal heads, so my technique changed a bit. I'll probably try something more like what you suggest for the future.1Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00347246355201436067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1614088065682049316.post-50993204747074831152013-10-09T12:57:28.729-05:002013-10-09T12:57:28.729-05:00I've found that a large majority of 15mm heads...I've found that a large majority of 15mm heads look really good on 1/72 figures.<br /><br />I usually put the pin into the body first, then cut off the top, leaving enough (or a little more) to attach the head. <br /><br />After drilling a hole in the head, I test to see if the pin is too long, adjust as needed, and glue the head into place.<br /><br />It's a little more work to drill the hole, but I think the head is more secure that way.EYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607011416145132455noreply@blogger.com
