Where wolf’s ears are, wolf’s teeth are near! - Volsunga Saga
From Norman to Norseman.
Hi everyone,
It was a busy weekend, so I did not get much painting done, but I did make sometime to work on my standard bearer.
You might remember this guy from last post. It was a Norman spearman that I converted into a Viking bannerman.
I use mostly ‘greenstuff’ and magic sculpt, but I do use milliput on occasion (but mostly for filling gaps and terrain).
Transforming the model did not take much. I had to change the head naturally, but I also needed to convert the trousers. I also had to remove the sword which was placed under the mail in the Norman, since Vikings never wore swords this way (at least to my knowledge).
I then added a cape and a few accessories, like braids, pouches and knives.
I now have a unique model – excelsior!
Based, primed and ready for painting.
I will try to post again this week. I will probably post an update, since I don’t think I will manage to finish anything this week. I will have to see.
Until next time stay safe and have fun.
Regards,
NR
