Photos for reference are on my tumbler. The post is copied directly, you don’t need to read the text both places. www.tumblr.com/blog/mazogsmodelsMy winter troll came with two right arms. I was going to make a stump for him to show the other growing back, but it was pointed out to me that that violates the conversion policy which requires that all weapons be clearly visible. I have two ideas now: (I think a conversion would be more fun than getting the arm, though I will probably ask for arm for use in a future conversion) 1) Use the arm that Raluk Moorclaw carries around since I never play him. I would have to make the arm and elbow from scratch as my first major sculpting project (I’ve done some rocks, lumpy basing, and a few regrowing stumps that probably are illegal conversions) which is pretty intimidating. 2) Use the arm off my second Swamp Troll that I also never use. This arm is much longer and the fist is freaking _huge_ in comparison, but I think that that could be amusing. I would file off the fishnet and and some lumps and fur, but that seems like a much easier first sculpting project.

I almost wonder if it wouldn't be easier to use the second right arm, file off the thumb and stick it on the other side of the hand to make it a left, with some fur and perhaps baking soda+superglue snow for gap filling.

I clicked on the link but didn't see any photos, only a login page.
Of the two options I guess I would pick #1.
An alternate suggestion: sculpt a severed stump with a tiny misshapen arm growing out of the center, like something out of Deadpool. It's technically an open fist so it meets tournament conversion guidelines right? And since it's SUPPOSED to be ugly and misshapen it shouldn't be too hard to sculpt (you might even be able to use a spare arm from a human or whelp model or something).
BTW I assume you've contacted PP for a replacement?

Dunno if that's intentional or not. mazog for future reference, it'll be simpler if you get the image address and upload it directly to here. Saves the hassle of fiddling with tumblr's interface.

I tried to do that but I am on iPhone and iPad currently and couldn't figure out how to do it. I will work to make the account public, though, that sounds like the quicker fix, and then stick my tech support tween on the other problem.

snip A complicated process, it ain't. Back in my day, sonny-me-boy, we didn't have fancy graphics to click to get addresses for pictures. You had to right click with your mouse, and that is pretty hard to do with a touchscreen! Now get off my lawn, you darn kids! <Waves stuck menacingly> I'll give that a shot in the morning... I mean after I have slept.
