Pumpkin head "The Rat Catcher!?"

[Normo]

Hi Gang

I havent posted for a while so I thought I would let you see my latest effort

Having bought from Sean Green his exquisite little gem "Pumpkin head" I decided to do a small conversion to make something a little different

I lengthened his legs to make him stand more upright and added a "RCD" (Rat catching device!) instead of his sword and converted his lantern into a rat cage

A verlinden rat from the spares box completed the conversion I hope you like it

As usual from Sean, a little masterpiece and I apologise to Sean for messing about with his creation!

Cheers

John

Hi Guys

Thanks for all you comments he really was a "fun" piece to convert and paint

Robin, Sadly this figure is no longer available It was originally sculptured by Sean Green and sold a few years ago I keep telling Sean to start "pushing" the putty again as he has a great knack at producing the right pose and "must have figure" sorry I dont have any SBS photos but he originally had a Lantern and a large sword blade both of which I replaced

Cheers

John
