Some of this stuff isn't all that bad. But there are quite a few jury rigged toy-to-GW conversions.

I've always thought that Jabba's sail barge would make an excellent DE superheavy base. Jabba himself...not so much

I may be a ham-fisted oaf with the modelling skills of a decomposing badger but... $150 for a Jabba toy sat on a takeaway tray? Is this guy for real?

Welcome to Garbageville. Population, That Guy.

$150 seriously? What a joke.

Lol, one of the worst conversions I've seen. I wonder if this is the same guy that keeps trying to sell that horrible "starwars" SM army

Oh guys, it can't possibly be as bad as...

Oh, My Eyes!
Burn it, Burn it with fire!

That said (and my lord, that whole thing will be etched into my soul forever... Jabba with antlers as a Great Unclean one...) most of the Nid conversions are a much better quality at a more reasonable price.
Makes me wonder if some of those conversions are just for trolling people.


Now if you'll excuss me; I now have two reasons I can never enjoy Starwars again.

It's not that its bad, its that he thinks its worth 150 quid is the problem.

bahahahaha I thought this was a joke when I first saw it. I would say kudos if an opponent used it against me but paying that much for a toy is dastardly lol

i read this guy's blog, some of his macfarlane toy -> nid models, and some of his stuff is quite good, but some of his stuff is fairly terrible, i still dont understand how he gets so much commisions though?

This guy is clown shoes.

I've been starting to hear this phrase a lot more (makes me laugh every time I hear it, for some reason); but where did it come from?
Was I asleep during the 'clown shoes is the new diss' meeting?
I don't even really know what it's supposed to mean, other then to be insulting.

I believe the origination is from the movie Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Basically means anything that is simply ridiculous and a joke.

LOL i loved his space wolf conversions. I wonder if they sold out.

Oh hey look, it's the same guy who has been spamming the Warhammer subreddit with ebay links.

Now that I think about it, either this is a child or someone who has some mental difficulty and we probably shouldn't laugh either way.

I dunno. He's got an entire updated blog that is relatively well articulated.

I just can't figure out how he so many crappy toys. Gotta be a yard-saler, right?

The Jabba-truck is quite something
I think they would look much better if they were base coated a uniform colour before being photographed.

Jabba with antlers....priceless

Now, this is one case where GW really does need to take legal action to protect it's IP. I would be outraged if some joker was selling pieces of garabage like this and daring to associate them with my IP.

the sad part is that I think the jabba and his laboratory (book, spheres, whatnot) looks quite good if you imagine it well painted.

the excuse of a chassi it is mounted on is crap though.

the model as a whole doesnt fit and looks like someone took a WIP model, gave it to a 6 year old with a picture of a baneblade and let the kid run loose...

Of course it does. They're all pieces of other toys...

The missus saw me laughing at this and demanded to know what was so funny. She's been laughing at 'reindeer-jabba' ever since.

you know what's funny? There's probably $150 bucks worth of stuff on there.

Soooo, for you guys making fun of the $150 price tag, this guy is just trying to break even!

In fairness though I blame GW... I mean come on Space Marines riding giant freaking wolves? ;)

They might look marginally more acceptable painted or primed. But still, someone needs to take him aside and have a friendly word about the quality and prices.:rolleyes:

The prices for those SW models really aren't bad! They're mad, mad models. But they're not bad prices. And there is a niggling part of me that says a wooly mammoth covered in guns is pretty damn cool... Space Marine squiggoths? Rock on!
