Finally got my Conan from a fellow forum member greedowan. A great guy! Fast response and a next Day shipping. Once again, thank you very much Dan. The statue looks great, the sculpture itself is excellent but the paint job could be a little better but for the price it's wonderful. I too am planing on modifying Conan...like applying some custom paint job and making a real metal scale replica of the Atlantean Sword. I used to have a jewelry business and I've kept some of the equipment. Not sure when I'll be done with customization (I'm very busy now) but I'll post some pics when finished.
