Riding legs parts for conversions.
« on: March 02, 2017, 06:05:53 PM »
I want to convert some infantry figures to cavalry... so I need some riding legs for them. Now I thought this would be easy given there's bunches of people making resin conversion bits, but I can't find anything suitable anywhere. I'm after medieval, light cavalry, unarmoured... Big riding boots would be fine.

And available in the UK.

Anyone any suggestions?

Katie

I just tend to buy individual plastic cavalry sprues. Second City Games on EBay is my general 'go to' for broken boxes (EBay search = "seller:2nd_city_games") though Perry, Warlord and Conquest all sell cavalry sprues of one sort or another. Perry is great value as the sprues AND postage are fairly priced.

I use him a ton, what with my current plastic-obsession.  ;) :D

I did finally find the sprues in their shop... but only after finding some suitable cavalry figures which only need head-swaps...

Do these guys still do shows? I used to run into them at Colours but I don't recall seeing them at any I've made it to recently.

I think I saw Perry Miniatures at last years Salute, and it looks as though they're on the list for this year as well.

No idea I'm afraid Katie as I don't really do shows. He's very approachable if you message him via eBay.

Ooops! Sorry about that....they don't appear to be on the trader list for Salute. I don't know about any other shows :-/
