I've searched quite a while for a 15mm plague doctor mini, but only found them in larger scales, so I found a couple of likely candidates in my mini pile to try a conversion on. It's taken the better part of 2 weeks of planning, cutting, sculpting and such, but I have finished one and another one should be done by next weekend.
This was initially some kind of wizard or monk, so he got his beard shaved, a lobotomy ( half the head whacked off ) and I added an upper shawl, plague doctor's mask with goggles, and a hat.
I used Aves Apoxie for the sculpting on this mini. At this time I'm finding it easier to work with than the Kneadatite (green stuff). I may revisit his paint job as the beak of the mask doesn't stand out as much as it would if it was leather colored. Unfortunately because of the pose with the left arm, I can't get a good side shot of the beak either.
All in all it was a pretty fun conversion and if the second one gets finished I may do a different style of paint job. This guy should add some creepiness to the gaming table for sure.
