These just arrived. Lancers by Hinterland and raptors by Tamiya…









I am planning to add a blanket and saddle, but I’m quite happy with how well they fit together with no work at all.




THANKS

[Mancha]

Ooh, those look pretty cool.  Froggy has provided some great mounts over the years, but those raptors really work, especially with the gasmasked lancers. 

[Dewbakuk]

Very nice. They're the same mounts I have for my Venus cav

[OSHIROmodels]

They work a treat 

cheers

AND, somebody's been listening when I whine 'perched on their haunches!' 

Okay, I know they just 'fit' there, but it's great that something so lovely actually makes sense. 

VERY well done!

TaDa!
like it how they fit

I like it when a plan comes together

[kidterminal]

Looks great. What kind of bit and bridle will you give them?

[aggro84]

You and Wolf Girl have done a lot of really cool stuff here Dave!

What kind of bit and bridle will you give them?

I'm sure you will do what you want... and for me, not even necessary.

A bit and bridle, though is fairly easy to make. I take sewing pins, cut them and glue them in the mouth. I then make little squares out of mulliput and attach them to the ends of the pin. That's the bit. I use normal paper for the reins, bending strips into a "V" shape. The bend is glued to the top of the hand and the ends are glued to the bit. I take another small piece of paper and bend it into a "7" shape and glue it on the bottom of the hand. You can see the construction fairly well here:

Just a idea...

[Froggy the Great]

Very nice!  My lancers are sitting in limbo till I can be bothered to make them saddles for their basilisks.

[former user]

bit?
I dn't know how realistic You want it, but a bit works only for horses denture an is not even necessary for riding.
a simple bridle like a sling around the snout should suffice.

Oh, and I would appreciate if You shared any good idea for the saddle, since I am not happy with mine

[Wolf Girl]

Dad finally put together my Pom-Pom. He's been working really hard on the Perilous Island campaign book. Really I think he was just scared of giving me control of the Pom-Pom.



I'm about to go finish up some bases and I'll have them posted up tomorrow. First, I have to help proofread the new book.

That machinegun is huge!
