Cadian to Death Korps

[The Fabulous Penetrator.]

So I got the Cadian heavy weapon box as a gift and couldn't help but notice they weren't Death Korps. So... I took some of my Kreig guys and suited them to the heavey weapons. Then I noticed that I have only three spare crouching guys and need a total of 6 men. Not wanting to convert ( destroy) any of my Kreig I started to file and cut and sculpt onto one of the cadians that came with the HW box. All I did was...
1: cut and file the helmet
2: file down the chest and back
3: file down the pockets on the trousers.
4: sculpt a gas mask and and the air filter on top of helmet.
5: Sculpt straps and air box for chest.
6: file shoulder gaurds to resemble that of the Kreig.
7: sculpt some rolled cuffs.
8: Sulpt the bottom of the great coat useing waffer thin green stuff. ( hardest part so far)
this is my first conversion using this much green stuff. Let me know what you think. Oh I need to pick up a guitar string to finish the air hose. and then paint him.

Thats boss! Its insanely hard to work with GS when its that thin, but you did a good job. Any pointers?

Tell me about hard. What I did was lay out some wax paper and rolled the GS using my hobby knife and water. I then took a paper clip and flattened one end to make a sort of sculpting tool. lifted the GS with the paper clip and layed it over the model and pressed the edge onto the area as I smoothed it into place. Bent the flaps with the paper clip and smoothed creases with it. Tried not to touch with my fingers at all.

When the GS is that thin it almost falls into the position you want it anyway. You just need to adjust where needed.

Cheers guys.
