Airfix Elves

The Airfix Robinhood set is, IMHO, one of the best sets as a base for conversions followed by Accurate´s  Hundred Years War English Men-At-Arms and Italeri´s Roman Infantry (I got 40 different poses out of the 3 Basic legionary poses).
This lot have had headswops using the heads from the Revell Anglo-Saxons set.
"Loose!!"

The flag? Looking at it now, it Looks like it´s upside down(?)

The quivers also came from the revel Anglo-saxons set.

    They look fantastic. Very convincing as elves. Where does the flag come from? It adds so much character.

      Thanks Paul.
      No direct glueing. The heads are pinned on and any small gaps (prefitting helps reduce any big gaps) are filled with either PVA for tiny gaps or pattex 100 gel for bigger ones.
