Nice job on converting the assault troopers, and I love the screen, must pinch the idea (from Paul and yourself) for Battlestar Galactica.

:D

Yeh,
I remember seeing the cyberman for the first time, What stuck out was how ninja/agile they were( no it didn't ). The screens are great but the cyberman figures fail.

The design of these Cybermen was based on research of the existing designs, conversations here on Frothers and the simple fact that in the Series' history the Cybermen have been redesigned almost everytime they have reappeared.

This project started with influences from Lee Sullivans Cybermen art, mainly this picture
Image
but he had also done a series for the Radio Times looking somewhat like these you can see on his web page
Further to this, once I posted my first work in progress cybermen conversions (no pun intended)
Image
others on Frothers suggested other designs like
Image
It was further pointed out that Akula's new Assault Trooper miniatures looked similar to the picture, and in a wonderful act of generosity provided me with a set to
convert.
This is what I made of them
Image
They turned out better than I expected, but the main force of my Cyberman army will be based on my first conversion design.

I hope this quick run through of the project history, design influences and education over Cybermen in the series will go some way to answering the issues raised in your feedback.

Just put a video up showing the screens in action. Screen images went blue for some reason. The table one was done just using normal floor plan images from the web. The TV monitor ones were done by me showing advancing Daleks!
