And the next ones.

Two bretonian metals used as highlanders (again).
1 halberdier officer with halberd removed and shield glued. Rest is painting.
The other also a halberdier had the same removed, hands drilled and a spear glued. Rest is painting.

Next one is a norman archer from BTD with extensive green stuff items added.
The left one is an original so you see the items added.

Last fo today is a wargames foundry ancient german with a mailcoat sculped as seen in pics.

a plastic ex-Gondor Ranger bowman from The excellent Lord of the ring (perry's sculpting) range of GW.





turned into a Donjon & dragon assassin/thief for my son.





The hand crossbow is coming from a heroclix ninja. The arm with sword is a Morord plastic Orc. The back sword scabbard is made with a bit of lead take off from a 28 figurine base, and shaped into a scabbard with a cutter.

"Garanty without Green stuff", Re-animator approved !

Very nice (and clever) as usual Rui. 

[rumacara]

Many thanks Frank.
Crazy ideas are popping in my head.

[nervisfr]

hey Rui,
excellent job !
what is your goal with these great converted figurines ?

 

[rumacara]

Hello Eric

These miniatures are to game Song of Blades and Heroes but with a "historical" favor.
Basically something like the Barons Wars in England at the 13th century.
Probably i will add a kind of a wild tribe like vikings but with a lot of furs.

Hi Rui

Nifty conversion skills being exhibited here 

My favourites are the Norman archer and of course the more recent Fireforge work 

From your comments your project seems to be taking something of an Imagi-Nation route.  Is this right? If so did GoT inspire you? I certainly succombed to recreating the medieval period as I want to rather than as it 'strictly' was! 

[rumacara]

Well, GOT is always inspiring Steve but not the real inspiration.
This is an idea i´ve had several years ago and never trully completed.
By seing your thread i just gave it a go and transformed a few more figures to it so actually the real inspiration to pick it again was you and your project.
By no means i intend to do the same but something similar involving a castle with interiors, smaller than yours and a kind of GOT war with several factions.
I was hoping to see James casttle ready but not yet...
No fixed scenario.
I will try to give it a more historical favor rather than fantasy.

[Silent Invader]

That's interesting. I'll certainly be following your progress!
