Caeser Undead

mThese three are some of the opposition for the adventurers. They are the basis for a strange cult called the PURPLE H.A.N.D. HAND..stands for Have A Nice Day. I think they are being cynical...we´ll see.  :-D)

Hello Screaming Eagle. SE´s Blog, Behind My Hedgerow,  is mainly concerned with LOTR bods and gaming with them (good man :-D)

Making Spears/lances

Probably another of those "I already know that" things but maybe..just maybe, it might be helpfull.
I like to make my spears out of metal for two reasons. It takes paint better than broom bristles and if there is no ring hand (or I can´t create one) they can be heated over a candle and "welded" to the bod. It has a disadvantge in that it´s heavy but as my bods all get based, one way or another it doesn´t bother me.

Firstly the tools. From right to left. Pliers (I forgot to add them in the pic)  fine metal file, hammer, an old pair of scissors, 0.8 florist wire, and a hard surface. I´m lucky cos I´ve got this little anvil..(I pinched it from my son...well..he pinched 2 of the robots I got the other day ...so fair´s fair).

Cut of a length of florists wire..a bit longer than the length the spear will end up. Bash the tip flat, ocassionally turning the wire over so that the "spearhead" will end up more or less central to the shaft.

Snip the basic shape of the spearhead. A pair of old scissors  work fine as the metal should be quite thin after it´s beating.

Grip the spear with the pliers as close to the head as possible. If you just hold it in your hands the shaft tends to get bent. Firstly file both flat sides of the head, then round the corners to the edges. I like to file the back of the spear head (the part next to the shaft) to to give the appearanve of it being in two parts, head and shaft. Cut the spearshaft to the desired length..finished :-D

Note. These Things are sharp when finished so be carefull

Fish wives

A right pair these!!!...Either they are argueing and the pitbull looking one is waiting to boil over and thump the other or they are heatedly moaning about the neighbour.

Airfix Waterloo French Imperial Guard III

Right...I´ve finally got each pose of the set finished which means another mob in the quest out of the way.:-D

Big A.P.U´s

Just got these today...sent over from Blighty by Fran Aka The Angry Lurker. They were part of a swop, some of my Daleks for a couple of A.P.U´s. I thought by a couple it was meant two...I´d have been well happy with two but Fran sent 4!!!!! Cheers mate :-D
I´ll get to cutting them up and putting chain guns on the two I have left...my son pinched off with the other two as soon as he saw them.:-D

Adventurers III

Another pair of bods to the slaughter...er??.... fun!! This time one is from Caeser the other from Orions Medieval Siege troops. No..he hasn´t lost the tip of his weapon...it´s a gun.

EXTERMINATE!!!!! (3)

Ok Ray...here are the conversions :-D
The two red Daleks were easy...saw the heads off at the "neck" and glue back on slightly turned to the left or right. Easy peasy!!
The Emporer Dalek was a bit more difficult. Saw off  the gun/arm area, saw off one layer of "blobs" and glue the whole thing back together...like making a nice chocolate cake. ;-D
The head is made from a wooden bead...pinheads for lights. I did do a much better version but scrapped it cos it looked out of style with the other Daleks which don´t have much detail .

YOU WILL OBEY !!!!!

Medieval Citizens

This lot are painted up for my Medieval city aka medieval fantasy game. The pic makes thier faces look a bit bright...I can honestly say that in real life they aren´t so bright...Honest. :-D

These are I think, to be arranged in a group. The two in the middle are in the act of grovelling to the well dressed bod on the far left. The woman is either his wife or a standerby.
