Made a Hill Giant from a Marvel Miniature Alliance Hulk to go with my Fire and Storm Giants.

Brilliant makeover! What'd you use for the club?
I thought about swapping the head of mine for something less human looking.

Went in the yard and found a nice sized stick then used a dremel to sand it off the bark and taper/shape the club. Sadly the "handle" of the stick broke off so I had to drill a hole where it was and insert a piece of plastic from a left over model kit sprue to make a new handle with.

Beautiful work. For those of us who are less talented, like me, I would offer the suggestion to use 54mm Cavemen figures, available from Amazon.com, here. I used the tan plastic as the skin color, then painted the bits which were different in color, with craft paints (my entire set was tan plastic; use artist's Gesso to prime over the red plastic). Apply The Dip, a matte coat, and done. They work as shorter, less stocky Hill Giants, or even Ogres, more akin to 1st Ed AD&D Hill Giants for size, and bulk. YMMV. Cheers!

Did you get any pics and size comparison pics by any chance that you could post. I am very intrigued...

Thanks for posting the link for the caveman set, monkeywithtacos! The ones with the rocks look like they could make some really great figures! I'll have to look at getting a set!

Thanks skunkape, but I can't take credit for it..It was sgtslag above me who posted them first I only asked if he had some pics of the ones he had done alongside some standard minis for size comparison...

Awesome Hill Giant. If my golem turns out nearly this well, I will be happy. And rather shocked. Great work.
Slag, I too would love to see a pic of the painted cavemen.

Thanks for the link Slag! Those look great also. I'll be keeping my eyes open for some of those. In the meantime, I'm going to be stealing Indigo's idea (again) to make a Hill Giant for the adventure I'm running now.
