    Slenderman proxy

    Hello everyone,

    I just had the idea of proxying Hamelin the Plagued for Slenderman, mostly because of his interaction with the Stolen. For those who don't know, Slenderman is a tall, thin man, wearing a black business suit, with a featureless white face.

    Any ideas of where I could find a mini that looks somewhat like that?

    Sadly I do not. I am however very interested in the idea of using slenderman. I'll look around and see if I can come up with anything.

    Edit: I looked around at a bunch of companies and I couldn't find anything of the proper proportions. The best thing similar to slenderman (In my opinion) would be this.

    Not really similar in design but still gives off that creepy vibe. Hope that helps.

    Thanks for your input kannachan. As you say, the design's not really the right one though :/
    Might need to convert or just build from scratch (oh boy, this is going to be ugly XD )

    I've seen some modeling mannequins that were kinda stretched out limb-wise. Those may be of some help to you.
    Of course that's also of absolutely no hep because I can't remember where.

    Here's some possibilities - from Monolith Miniatures (might be a larger scale than 28/32mm, though):

    From Warmachine, doable with a head swap perhaps:

    Reaper minis carries dollies, aka model manequins. They have 3 didfferent styles to pick from.
    I went Through the Breach once, ended up on a podcast as a host. Maybe you have hear my Disturbing Whispers... Sometimes down in the Bayou, when gremlins get bored, they climb in a pig pen and have a brawl!

    That could very well be what I was thinking of. Thank you.

    Thanks for your help, everyone.
    I like the dollies - the makes the face part pretty easy. Pity I know I would suck at creating/painting the clothes XD

    I just came across these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/0131-MEN-OF-...item4ab47768b4

    You could cut off the head and arms, make the legs longer, make new (longer) arms, and head. The suit seems to be the hardest part to sculpt, so these could be a good start. Hope it helps.

    I was just looking through my tote of minis from magekinght, horror clix, and others and I found a mini called a Man in black that looked like a slenderman in a black hat. He even has a lack of a face. I think it was from horrorclix. I hope that is helpful.
