Photo of a beast hunter miniature. A woman wearing a fox face mask, a domed shaped hat made out of greenstuff, wearing a long kimono like dress. She has a long nodachi like sword held over one should with a single hand on the hilt. She has been given the arm of another miniature, which looks as if it is in mid pose to grab the hilt for a two handed swing
I had picked up the beast hunter model that looks like it belongs with JSA even though they do not get access to it, and was going to use it as a Kyojin Killer, (another mini I don't really like the design of), but I thought the large arm on it is somewhat distracting, so I settled on it as the bases for my Shurayuki conversion. I had a left over Raiden arm from my Ryuken-9 HRL conversion, and thought that the asymmetry was kind of nice to keep, and then felt she needed a hat. I had initially thought I had one left over, but found that I did not, so I sculpted one out of green stuff based on the Shikami's hat.
To get the round base to work from, I used the cap of my exacto knife to press down on some greenstuff I had rolled out flat. Then I took a few sessions to build up the domed shape and add the lens hols and cut out in the back, and added some round disks along the side edges so it didn't look like a direct copy.

Finished up a conversion for my JSA. I didn't really care for the Shurayuki mini because I felt the concept felt pretty plain for a character, (maybe it is the breathing mask?), and the execution of the pose didn't do anything to improve on it, so I decided to convert my own. #infinitytheuniverse
