At the weekend I completed this archer for my Wildlings. I even managed to build some more Miniatures for a completely different army . The Army of “Tom of Rabeneck” a completely self made force for the GoT universe. I made up everything like heraldry etc. So watch this space for more. Here is the Wildling archer:
Is it boring already ? Here is the Wildling I completed yesterday.
Here is the next Wildling Archer I painted during my last holidays.
Hope you like what you see.
Here is the third Wildling archer. As I couldn’t go to Salute last weekend I used my time to paint up the third figure of my Wildling archer unit.
This is another strait build from the Frostgrave Barbarian plastic box.
So with Easter out of the way and after a longer brake in painting Game of Thrones related figures, the Westfalia halfmen got in the way, here is the first figure of my Wildling bow unit for Dragon Rampant. The figure is a Northstar Barbarian figure.
The figure is kit bashed with a body and head from the Frostgrave Barbarian set, Arms from the Frostgrave warriors set, and arrows from a Perry war of the roses set.
More to come in the next days. This unit comprises 12 figures.
Here are pictures of my completed halfmen army. There are a few more units like the army standard bearer, and a few more knights on goats etc. I will add these at a later point as I started to build my Wildling army for Got for a brake.
Here is the mascot of my Halfmen army. The blue dragon Erwin. He lives beneath the halfmen stronghold called Schalke in the deep , now derelict, coal mines. A vast dungeon which strikes fear into the strongest man. He can be summoned by Otto the wizard to fight alongside the Schalke hafmen host.
The model is by reaper bones and quite cheap for such a big model The painting was done with an airbrush and conventionally with the brush. Feel free to leave a comment or a like if you want.
Now that I dropped out of the build something contest over on LAF, I can show you here what I did in Jan/Feb. I build the “long range halfman scout ” using the plans of a flyer similar to Otto Lilienthals flying machine launched from a catapult. Here are the pictures of the build:
I got som plans of the Lilienthals Flugapparat on the web . But I used only the plans of the wings the fuselage was my own concoction.
These are the plans of the wings and my sketch of the machine. I started by building the wings first . I copied them onto very thin extruded polystyrene (2mm) induct them out the supporting wooden frame was build with toothpicks.
on the last picture you can see how thin the wing is . It is very translucent indeed. Next are the tail wings.
When these were all finished I started on the fuselage.
The pilot is a figure by Westfalia miniatures. One of their Halfmen figures. Of course he needed a paper pilots helmet and some goggles .
Then the wings and the fuselage were joined:
Here are pictures of the “one halfman “power supply for the prop
Next step was painting the machine and the pilot:
Here is the picture I used for the build something contest:
And Finale some pictures of the scout in action:
I hope you like what you see. In the future the next vehicle I want to scratch build in a Viking Knarr ship in 28mm. So watch this space.
Here is the last of Dietrichs warriors for now.
Next Project will be building a Viking Knarr ship. Oposed to the famous longships these were shorter and wider ships used for trade and exploration . This ship type was probably used by the Vikings who settled on Iceland and went to the americas.
Here is the next of Dietrichs warriors. Next up will be something completely different to keep up my painting mojo.
