[Calvinscustom]

There has been many great Conan customs thru the years, I finally got a chance to work on one, hope you like it!

PHOTO COLLECTION & W.I.P pics

Million thanks as always!

 

[Keenan]

That is awesome!

 

[Viking Spawn]

Agreed! Looks fantastic!!!

Fantastic looking custom! Really like the horse. I've been wanting to commission a Conan custom for quite some time, while at the same time hoping HT announces one. Given all they do with Johnny Depp, you'd think they'd make more Schwarzenegger characters.

That is awesome!

Really great bud!

I hope someone makes a Conan run soon he's one of the top 10 most wanted for me

THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS for the kind words and liking my first Conan!!! It means so much to me!!!

Actually, my customer and I had some discussions on the look and version of Conan should be made, and which body to be used, and we consolidated to this version...

As soon as I started, I wanted a bit more from a customizer point of view, without overdoing it, I took liberty to take reference from a 6" NECA toy I have, which he has a simple leather armor on, and the details on the back caught my eyes...

So I went on trying it out and added some primitive decal with my new wood / leather burner...

Then I saw a pic reassembling a scabbard that looks like the one he is holding in the reference picture...

And there you go, the big man before weathering

After completing it, I thought why not having him on a ride, so I thought the "Dread Steed" I made a year ago would suits him well

Thanks again for liking my version of Conan!!!

Actually, I just remembered this is not my first Conan...

And oh, btw, I think these two are coming soon too

Thank you so much again!!! Happy weekends!!!

Great work, what a talent!

One advice - The fron of the armor makes him look like Greek. It's better to use square lines and either end the armor below the chest, like a wide belt, or come up to pecks level in a square.

But anyway - Awesome all around!
