Open to suggestions.

I want to have a figure of a being that could have "inspired" proto-Egyptians to adopt a lot of their motifs. I'm hoping for one standing pose and one sitting pose.

Conversions is probably the way to go. But, where can I find a starting point 15mm figure for both the seated and standing versions?

Should I add alien features to an Egyptian figure or add "Egyptian" clothing and jewelry on an alien figure?

Thanks,

Dan
PS. I love some of the artwork that starts 1/3 of the page down: link

I think I'd start with a human Pharaoh and replace the feet, hands, and face (not the whole head, just the face) with an appropriate Grey. Easier than adding Egyptian clothing to a Grey, I think, especially in 15mm.

I know that Essex does 15mm Egyptians, but I can't help you with specific codes.

Come to think of it, in 15mm you could probably just flatten or remove the nose, and use tiny balls of epoxy to make the bulbous slanted eyes, and be good to go.

Isn't the Pharaoh from Blackhat in armor and geared up for battlefield use?

I guess you're right. :(

Throne room gear is what I would prefer.

This sarcophagus would be cool to make:

For the Pharaoh: I think you could pull most of it off with the right paint scheme.
