I started work on this fig about 10 years ago; moving, marriage, kids and general lack of knowledge on posting pics have prevented me from putting him on here until now (I hope!). The paint job is not complete- if I ever get the time to start painting again I may start from scratch and use a different color scheme. But, I wanted to share this All-Star Chaos Thrower with the BB community..........hope I post the pics right

One last one.........really an easy conversion- cut off the left hand and replaced it with an Amazon Thrower's left hand w/ ball and then I used the "pony tail" from I think a Dark Eldar plastic fig for his hair and green puttied the eye patch.
Combination of Jake "the Snake" Plummer (ASU/ Cardinals QB; I was living in AZ at the time) and Snake Plissken from Escape from NY.

Awesome. You should definitely take up painting again. The mini is too cool to be unfinished

That's a bit off-topic but I'm interested in buying (or trading) the original Warhammer mini you used for your conversion. If someone gets it and don't want to keep it, I created this topic :

Sorry for this intrusion.

Papa -
Thanks for the offer, but I'm not willing to part with him. Still hanging on to the hope that someday I'll find time to enjoy the hobby and game I used to enjoy so much.
*** I have two user id's - created the tommyboy316 id recently when I couldn't log on with tommy316- for some reason, thought with new website that it was lost so create new profile- ANYWAYS, does anyone know how to remove the tommyboy316 profile so I can use my original profile OR does it even matter? Thanks! Sorry for any confusion

I know, I know. I'm looking for everyone else who gets this mini and doesn't want to keep it. I used your post as there's a picture of the mini so everyones knows what mini I'm talking about.
