Stargrave hybrids Part 2

I love converting plastics and creating hybrids from two (or more) different kits. In my last blog, I looked at some of my work for Stargrave, and this post completes my recent conversions.

I now have a ragtag band of cyclops men led by the first of a group of mind flayers, yes the D&D Illithids! As always, converting and playing around with possibilities can be great fun. Now, to get them painted...
