lol lol lol

Drat and blast .... my ploy to paint solely from my F&IW pile has been uncovered! No repeats though, these ones are also previously unseen, all by Perry though I cut muskets out of two to stick with the 'at the earths core' theme. ;)

Lovely painting on Temudjin00's entry. :)

Great conversion job. I would have never guessed that they had been armed with anything other than bows.

Thanks Rob but I ought clarify that they were always armed with bows though two had additionally carried muskets. The figure in the grey leggings had a musket slung over his right shoulder and the one who is kneeling with a bare-chest had a musket propped over his left foot, while both had also carried powder horns. It was these that were cut out and so it wasn't as grand a conversion as swapping a 'firing' musket for a bow: my apologies if I gave the wrong impression. :)

Post by: Silent Invader on April 27, 2010, 06:06:52 PM: That's my take on a giant anaconda. It started off as one of those cheap floppy black rubbery snakes from the pocket money section of a toy shop. It was about twice the length and flat on the ground whereas I wanted something more compact and in a raised pose. I cut out the sections I needed to create the curve and rise and then reconnected them with pins, superglue and greenstuff. Gave it a coat of superglue to seal the rubbery plastic before undercoating, then a new paintjob.
