Get a Ref!

For all of you out there, who, like me, own a complete Bloodbowl box, have no intention of ever painting a whole plastic human team, and need a referee figure for the new "I've got my eye on you!" rule, here's a little idea for a cheap, quick and easy conversion (please excuse the bad picture):

The miniature is human catcher, with the glove cut off at the wrist and replaced with the right hand of a lineman. The red card is a piece of blister plastic inserted into a slit cut between index finger and thumb with a scalpel and fixed with superglue. Quick-and-dirty paint job on top of this, and you've got a nice functional ref without spending a buck or wracking precious metal miniatures.

Nice. I like it, but I'm planning on using all my plastic humans (in fact, have), so won't be able to do this one. But, if I ever get a couple extra figures, this is a great idea.

I must admit that this is a good paint.

But, to me, the plastic models are sacred!

If you have figures that you don't want, please send it to me.

I'll give them a good home and games each week.

(iI'm serious)

A very nice idea to use this human catcher !

Come on, Norse, thats not the Norse i think, i knew just a little bit and saw some great painted minis from...

Maybe I will visit the events "Intermodelbau" and "Miniaturansichten"... and there i expect to see some masters.
