Sammael conversion

So I did I minor conversion of sammael, I cut off his head and carved out the excess finecast and replaced it with the winged helm from the black knight kit. The ravensword sadly looks like a weedy bread slicer compared to the new plastic power swords and if yours is like mine the finecast version bends and looks like a limp noodle. So I replaced it with the sord of caliban, also from the black knight kit.

The head was very simple just some cutting and carving, the sword was more problematic but again fairly simply. So after snipping of the sword I drilled a small hole into the hand with a hand crank pin drill and then I cut a piece of a paper clip to the size I needed. It acts as sort of a skelaton, I then proceeded to find the right angle I want the sword to attach so it matches with the hilt on the lower hand. Then I made a small hole by useing my hobby knife and lined up the sword and put it on. There are some gaps but when I get home I'll fill those with some green stuff.
Now the reason the sword was such a pain is because I drilled a little off center with hand and had to compensate with the hilt on the sword and it still took me about 10 minutes of lining up to get it looking right
