I want to break free

Posted by Dad's Army on 26 Jan 2019, 15:08

Hi Guys,

Well I did promise Jan (MABO) to post a figure this weekend,
and I did show him the plain figure two weeks ago in Lingen.
When I came home I started on it, and now it's time for me to show you all a funny figure.
No don't be afraid it's again the always the same Asterix :mrgreen:
I will keep those for myself cause you don't want to see the same every time.
So I made something different this time.
Okay I did use a figure from the Asterix range... (sorry)
It's a slave:

He was waiting at my painting desk to get a good idea for a conversion.
Of course I thought about giving him a weight in his hands,but that would be so predictable.
After I went to the movie bohemian Rhapsody I knew it ...
What is it a slave always wants.... to break free :P
Okay his pose wasn't good for the original vacuum cleaner, but he it's a funny conversion.
So I made him a Henry vacuum cleaner.
And this is what I made of it:

Image

I hope you like it, on my blog I made a small step by step post of how I converted this slave.
So if you're interested feel free to visit my blog

An inspired idea and brilliantly realised. A very cool and fun conversion.

The vac with the rolling eyes is perfect.

Hello,
is the slave not a Roman Legionär that takes place at the Olymic games like Asterix and Obelix?

Greetings

I agree with all previous comments, Dad's Army. Great conversion, both the result and the process developed in your blog. Very funny and very well executed. :notworthy:

My very best compliments. :thumbup:

And Patrick... Ahh I looked it up, and you are right :(
So no slave who wants to break free...
Well the good side on it is, I can paint him now in the original colors..
