Irrational Number Line Games has yet another VOID Viridian (spelled right this time) conversion … BUGMEN!

Just simple recapitations, but there are a couple of tips about balancing variety and uniformity. And they're bugmen.

The green ones turned out really well. Heads on the others seem a bit large, but that could be camera angle and personal taste. How practical would it be to leave off the guns for some wacky Guyver/Power Rangers/Kamen Rider antics?

The heads are all about the same size (as much as you get with a cheap bag of plastic bugs). I think the mantis heads look better because they have a bit of neck with them; it makes them a little taller and gives them a slightly different proprotion.

I had to attach the guns … the Viridian minis come with open hands (that's how I got a leftie in there!), so unarmed Kamen Rider (the only one I recognize) figs would work fine.

They really are a fun mini to work with as a base.
