Thank you for your support throughout this thread TBC - it's nice to get such enthusiastic feedback. Appreciated.

The pleasure is mine! Really enjoying the 'ride'

Forgot to tell you, I got my hands on the Prism Caramel, and used your recipe for blond hair. Great stuff! Thank you!

Are you running out? My sister came for a visit and brought me two, so I have one to spare if you are running low. Least I could do for the tip!

Thank you, but no, I'm fine. Redzed very kindly sent me a couple of bottles just a couple of months back, so now I should have enough caramel to see me through the next 10 years!

It'll be the black and the white ('raven' and 'snow' - how very, presciently Game of Thrones) that run out on me first. Probably in about a year. Then I'll need to find an alternative paint... It's really quite a worry...

No problem, wanted to offer.

You may want to check out Bliks, I got mine for about $1.10 or less each. Even if you pay $16.0 in the shipping for a few bottles, you have your paint! Not sure if you were aware of that vendor.

Cheers!

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm going to build a few more GOT figures based around the new Perry HYW plastic set. First up, a Lannister bannerman...

Mary mother of God, I've just found this thread.

You're a bleedin machine Richard.

I dunno how you do it. Bare grey plastic, added cloak and shield, the label 'Lannister', and bam.

Wow! I like this one most so far! I always had the HYW Perry miniatures in my mind when I read GoT. Well done Richard!!

These figures are all marvellous, superbly painted and very inspirational. I may be looking for Father Christmas to bring me some Perry and FF miniatures!

Really nice, Richard.

The combination of plastics and the adition of green stuff really makes wonderfull and unique minis.
And your painting skills really capture the details.

Well done. Keep it coming.

Fantasy or Historical, it's always a pleasure to see your IMAGINATIVE creations & WONDROUS brushwork. GREAT STUFF!

An inspiring thread, Richard

Thanks lads

Here goes then. I've decided to use the new Perry HYW plastic set to build out the forces for my Westeros project. They just fit what I consider to be the right look. Especially, I think, fot The North.
Also, because these figures are a whisker bigger than the Perry WOTR sets, the heads, arms, cloaks, shields and weapons from other manufacturers, seem to fit just that litle bit better.
So these figures are all from the new Perry Agincourt to Orleans set but with a few added Fireforge, Warlord and Gripping Beast bits and pieces. Plus (because Winter Is Coming), obligatory added fur from Green Stuff.

First, Robb Stark.
The body is one of the Perry HYW knights with the head carved out and replaced with - believe it or not - a Celt head from Warlord. Cloak and shield from Fireforge. The arms are from the Perry C15th mercenaries command frame.

A couple more characters: Jory Cassell - ill-fated captain of Ned Stark's personal guard - and Mikken the smith of Winterfell. Also ill-fated. (Let's face it, all the Starks are ill-fated).
These are kitbashed from assorted Perry HYW and WOTR parts. Mikken has a GB Dark Age Warrior head.
