Very nice work as usual, Richard! Looking at your "Bastardo"-knight it seems you connected the two back armour plates on top of the mount's back. Those plates were just attached to the sides of the horse with straps as can be seen here:



I'm working with the WotR-plastics myself now and was a bit disappointed about the lack of information for installing the horse armour plates correctly. Did you realize that there are two types of front plates for that armour as well? Very small letters "A" and "B" on the back of those parts, and if you try the parts on different horse body halves you will notice slightly different curves on that parts. But no hint how to use them ... :?

Don't want to be a faultfinder, just give some hints I've learned myself when working with those kits.

Thank you Michael. That's useful info and a great picture  :)

No, the instructions are not that great are they? I think they could have done more with them for better guidance.

The conversion is solely achieved using generous amounts of liquid polystyrene cement and shavings of sprue...
oh, that's soooo 1970's lol

I doubt if most gamers have even heard of that technique, nice one. ;)

Hi all! I've been following this thread for a while now, like your work cpt. Very inspiring  ;)
I've ordered some of these men, still on their way but got a full A4 page with conversion ideas. Have copied and modified some of your ideas Blood, if you don't mind  :)

Right, another one finished - despite four hours pruning trees this afternoon  ::)

I've painted the scout, who is joining the retinue of Sir Robert Tenchley of Staffhurst...

I really like the black on the horse, not like a cow at all  lol

In all seriousness though, another cracking paint job  :-*

I'll get your rings and other bits sent off tomorrow.
