This time, the conversion of the rider went faster, as I simply cut the legs, trimed down the groin area until it fit the saddle, and repositioned the legs on the boar's flanks, using a mix of Green Stuff and milliput to fill the gaps.
As for the paintwork, I used the same colour scheme as for the first knight: a mix of steel and copper scales for the caparison, and a black and copper armour for the rider. The helmet was painted using a duplicate of the miniature in hand, which I polished so that I could see how the light falls across its surface.
As the result lacked colour variety, I decided to add a painted skull to the helmet... I'm still undecided as to whether it was a smart move or not...
Cette unité s’annonce très bien.
ReplyDeleteTu as eu raison je pense de faire un free hand de crâne sur le casque. Cela remplit bien la zone et ajoute de la variété à tel point que j’ai cru initialement qu’il était sculpté dans le casque.
Toujours mention spéciale pour tes métaux !
eh bien merci !
