Very little Flash, great sculpts, especially the nags.
Only one small, but solvable Problem. The bods don´t fit that well on the nags. The reason ? Thier legs aren´t wide enough appart to fit over the nags sturdy backs.
I tried the "hot water Treatment" to widen their legs but even then, seeing as there are no saddles, they didn´t seat properly and fell off. Normally, with mounted bods, I glue them into the saddle, the glue is then more or less hidden.
Solution ? As the bods needed holes drilled in thier rear Ends to enable easy painting (they get then jammed onto Cocktail sticks which are supported in wine corks ) it made sense to drill a hole in the nags backs in roughly the area where the saddle would have been, add a short length of wire which the bod was then pushed onto.
As with the first set of foot cimmerians I gave them reddish hair.
Loads of Fantasy stuff like maces, Axes and horned helmets
"Come on then!! I´ll have the lot of ya!!!
Is the bod meant to be Conan ? I reckon so. The pose and kit are directly taken from the 1980´s Conan films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger
I´ve still not given them a flag (do they Need one?) but I reckon something with a bull would be good.
Now I like these Paul and those horse really are superb!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding. Well done!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work
ReplyDeleteThe Final Battle scene in Conan with those four riders in the old stones.They remind me of that very much. cool.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Paul!
ReplyDeleteIf you think the bods are familiar with the old Conan movie of 1980, you maybe should choose the flag of the movie. The one with the tow snake heads starring at each other. And nice work by the way, nags really do not look so spectatcular
ReplyDeleteLet us know, which choise you made.
