Several days ago, this headless Hornet Desert Rat figure was at the bottom of the scrap box, with no prospects of ever being completed. I was inspired by another thread to find him and make something of him and here he is.

Here's how he was found. Thanks BULL for the inspiration!

Looking grand is that.

He looks much happier now!

Excellent piece, Chazman. I've seen many different interpretations of this Hornet figure, & yours is a simple conversion which changed it into something unique & original. Thanks for sharing your SBS here.

A very interesting conversion. or should I say resurrection of this 'golden oldie'.
Very nice painting and presentation.

Cheers,
Andrew

Thanks again, guys. You're all very encouraging.

A nice rejuvenation of a golden oldie. Wish I had snagged one of these back when they were available, but I only had eyes for napoleonics then.
