Just a quick one - as I've finished a few halbardiers, who'll protect the sides of the Berne pike block, who've been lingering on the painting table for too long.
Three metals and two plastics - I'm concerned about the fragility of the polearm heads on the latter, you have to cut the moulded pike and attach a halbard head. The joint has been glued with plastic cement and a thin covering of liquid green stuff, but it snapped from only being knocked over on the painting table. I'll have to ensure they are not too vulnerable when based up.
Some head swops on two of the Perry metals and the odd one out is Citadel 'Dogs of War' figure (sculpted by the Perrys) who's had a Perry Swiss head added, new halbard and some metal greaves smoothed off - but will fit in OK as a different pose.
Another great work, love the white and red colors with the armor...

ReplyDeleteCaptain Blood had the same problem in his massive build thread. I think he made a ring around the join with melted sprue. Hopefully the foot men at arms will have some more halbard arm options.
ReplyDeleteSome very inspirational conversions there! Have to try the foundry late medievals as well ;-)
