Gamma World: Stanley and Livingstone

Foundry Darkest Africa figure (now with extra head!

So I pulled this Foundry Darkest Africa figure out -- he had one head at the time -- with the intent of converting him for Gamma World. My original idea was to give him a sci fi gun of some sort. But Nyarlathotep already has a kickass sci fi gun. And I've already done a guy with a gas mask. Then I saw that extra head, from the Nyarlathotep conversion, sitting at the corner of my table, and it became ragingly obvious what I needed to do.

This was a quick and dirty conversion. I eyeballed the vising and pinning of the two heads. I painted it fast with some unassuming colors, and called it done. (After seeing the photo up close, there are a couple areas I'll be cleaning up.) I still thought about giving him a sci fi pistol, and perhaps a backpack among other things to prepare the figure for the wasteland. But, in the end, I was happy that he had two heads. That's all the gamma he needed.

  1. I LOVE the approach you're taking to GW here! Good show!

    One head should be named Stanley and the other Livingston.
