By request I am going to list some of the details of producing Alpha-1. I did not take any step by step pics during his construction, as it is one of the easier conversions to produce.
First off I started with two model kits.
1.) Neo-Soviet: Cyclops 3; arms at side 40-406
2.) Warmachine Brute Thrall
Second, I removed the arms from the Cyclops model with a dremel tool:
Next I cut the base connection piece on the Brute thrall so it would fit in the standard 28mm base.
After that I used a boring bit to cut the actual shoulder muscle away from the bicep muscles creating a V shape. This connects almost perfectly with the Brute Thrall model as the arms are packaged un attached and connect at the shoulder muscle. I pinned the arms and used a little green stuff to connect them. I also rolled a small ball of green stuff and pressed it onto the straps around the Cyclops' hands. This creates the large buckle present in the Alpha-1 artwork from Razorfang's Exodus. I painted the hammer and sickle on the buckle during the painting process.
The next step(sorry no pics as I didn't plan on this step). I had to use the Dremel to file down the bulging neck from the Brute Thrall's body. I had originally just glued a Cyclops head into the slot where the Brute Thrall's head would go but it stock out in an odd fashion resembling a part of the male anatomy from the side view. Filling down the neck gives Alpha-1 even more of a resemblance to the standard Cyclops models.
For painting, I wanted to choose colors that really stood out. I was inspired by Scrollmaster's Blue Cyclops here:
So I choose a Blue and produced what you see here:
