Marky's Modern Centaur

Post by MarkyM607 »

After enjoying making this one in the figures GB I found another and have decided to try and make a modern version using the original and a new Police figure.
Original made for the GB..

The new acquisitions....

The police one is separated into upper body (front and back halves), and legs so hopefully it will combine with the Centaur kit which has the human' body separate to the horse body....
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

Hmmm, Rocket may have to go on my 'Grudge List'!! :ha: :ha:
I do think it's a good idea but all of the Leela figures I've found look way too big. The only option so far is converting the human body of the Centaur..... :shock:

LOL. Okay, I'll let you off!! :ha: . Still no luck on a Leela figure to suit a conversion, looking into buying a figure and having a go at conversion :shock:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Classic!!. One of the best lines from Airplane films!. In all seriousness (not much here!!), I thought about the Mounted Police Officer' bit. It was along the lines of what if Centaur type creatures had become the dominant equivalent of us Humans. There wouldn't be true mounted police as all police would have their own horse!!! (if you see what I mean). It's similar to the end of the either liked or hated Planet of the Apes (Mark Wahlberg one), where the apes are in charge and turn up at the end in uniforms and police cars.
Anyway, it makes for interesting thinking how everyday items and equipment would be if the race using them was half horse half human rather than all Human. Might have to do a fire-fighter one...... Damn, a new idea and no General Rocket to stick in my head!!. :lol: :lol:
