So I got my first boxes... ok 20 boxes of plastics. I couldn't decide who my first subject should be, so I went with someone who was mentioned in every book, but never appeared once. Ser Arthur Dayne.

Some WIPs. I used Captain Blood's recipe on Black instead of my greytone version. I likes :D
What about Dawn's blade? It's supposedly milky white and a hand and a half sword. So I painted it sort of nmm black and white. Then coated it in metallic medium like a screen.

Really nice paintjob, but what makes him Arthur Dayne? He does not have the white armor of the kingsguard, nor the livery of house Dayne.

Lovely job, great contrast on the armor! Welcome to the ASOIF circuit.

Even better, he's carrying Dawn! It is a sword that was forged using the meteor that struck where Starfall is located, the seat of House Dayne. It's at least as good as Valaryian steel, but unlike Valaryian's blackish color, Dawn is supposed to be a milky white. It's hard to see in the pics how the sword blade is white while I highlighted up to Chrome for the guard and pommel.

Thanks Mate!

Well, the tablecloth’s a bit garish :) but the figure looks great and that Black has worked well.

That's a nice looking figure - and a 'cut-n'-shut' job joining the torso to a new set of legs. Ambitious! 8)

Wow. The result on the metals is fascinating. Could you elaborate a little the process you followed, please?

Thank you so much! And high praise indeed from you Richard, The Godfather of this :D. I went back and redid his eyes and pommel and blade. I think it came out cleaner. I'll post the new pics. Then onto more characters!

Thank you 😊. I start with black, dry brush first a dark steel, mid tone and then I went right to Vallejo Air Chrome and painted the highlights. So it gives a bit of a jarring effect when the armor is so dark, then highlights to chrome. But especially because Ser Arthur is an exceptional hero, he deserved the extra embellishment.

Thank you! I have to try that!

I just found this...
"During the reign of Aerys II Targaryen the Kingsguard wore special Targaryen armor. During a flashback in "Oathbreaker," Ser Arthur Dayne and Gerold Hightower were shown wearing this armor."

Looks pretty good!

Been slapping some more plastic together!
First off, a Lannister Hearthguard (I plan to use these with SAGA)

Nice kitbashing! You really nailed the distinct characterization of the houses. :)

Wonderful kit bashing and the Blackfishis superb, nicely understated with a real look of a rebel about him
-
Nice work Erik.
We are getting quite a collection of Blackfishes now...
If I may: mine, yours, James (Oshiro's) - interesting similarities. Interesting differences :)

I have literally never seen an episode of GoT or read the books no idea what its about but I enjoy seeing peoples kit bashes using various plastic sets and that last guy looks very cool.

Thanks Richard! I was first off trying to differentiate my vision of the Blackfish from others, as copy-worthy as those are. But I thought, what's the point of just recreating exact copies of other people's kit bashes?? So I wanted him to be in a mix of armor from the War of the Ten Penny Kings and something a bit more modern on the arms. The Barbarian head seemed like a no brainer, again, I was looking for a mix between what you chaps did, refined and a little wild. It's very hard to see, but I did paint in a fish just below his chin on his tunic.... But decided as an obvious prod, to put him in black scale (like the show sure) but the other Tully's in silvered scale (unlike the show), like their sigil.
But I decided the faction to do that no one else has already would be Mormont :D.

Love your version of the Blackfish! Really nice!
