Spurred on by the recent arrival of my kickstarter pledge its got me enthused about Burrows and Badgers again. A mass clean up and preparation for priming has begun on the kickstarter figures. I have also got a pair of Shrews finished off the paint table that had been lurking and needed finishing.
These are both conversions of the orginal models with the first one receiving a blunderbuss and the second a matchlock cavalier type weapon. Both weapons were picked up on some weapons sprues from alternate armies which I picked up last year alongside some more regular fantasy type weapon sprues.
The blunderbuss was quite easy and simple involved drilling a hole through the left hand and then cutting in half the weapon and pinning it place. I carefully trimmed the trigger and filed it so it slotted over the hand.
This one I trimmed away the throwing blade and then like the first drilled and add a pin and then cut the cavalier in half pinning it either side with careful filing to ensure a good fit.
Those are great, Simon. I love the patterns on the bandanas and such. Great sculpts too.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Dean. The scuplts are great to paint.

ReplyDeleteCheers nice and simple yet work ok I think.
DeleteStunning work Simon, great additions to what you already have
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. I all have got their captain prepped for painting now.
DeleteSuperb painting as always and your conversions are seamless.
ReplyDeleteCheers very much Joe!
DeletePirate Shrews are always cool mate and yours look ace. Grand work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Dai. I really can't decide on how to make my other shrewzerker different to the first.
DeleteCut off the axe, reposition the hands and give him twin hand weapons. Daggers would look nutsy enough for that sculpt too I think?
DeleteThose look great, fantastic work buddy.
ReplyDeleteCheers Stuart!
DeleteGreat looking minis! Looks like they are ready to storm the Bastille.
ReplyDeleteAye and slit some gizzards!
DeleteFull of character and very shrewy :-)
