WIP, First FireForge Conversion
« on: September 18, 2013, 08:31:49 PM »
Having just completed painting enough Feudal figures for a 4pt Saga warband (photos to follow) I thought Id give the rank and file painting a rest so Ive set about trying to do a conversion with some of the Fireforge plastics. For this conversion I used parts from the Mtd Templer, Mtd Seargent and Foot Seargent box sets with lots of cutting, filing, bending,and various amounts of Miliput etc. I wanted to get three figures on a standard cav base and get the horse rearing up, sliding and twisting at the same time and hopfully give some movement to the knight and foot men. Its finally looking something like I want it.These photos taken before Id  cleaned up the model before prep and prime so still a bit tatty looking.. but you get the idea.

Now that is a bit nice! Lovely dynamic posing and a great sense of animation. Once it's painted I'm sure it will really rock. You really haven't set the bar very high for yourself at all have you? lol

Hey, this is really well done. It took me some time to notice the third man being ridden down. And that's what makes the scene outstanding.
One last point: the spear should be grounded instead of being held in one hand. Otherwise the man wielding it would be extraordinglly strong.
But that's the cream on top.
I would never have made it this far.
Great model. I'm looking forward to seeing it painted.
