Hi there,
This is an odd order to be doing a work in progress as i have already finished the work of converting the mini but i will post for painting progress etc.
Sorry for the pics being a little odd.
Basically I wanted a decent Boromir captain of the white tower model as the gw one without the banner of minas tirith seemed a bit static and didnt represent gondor's mighty hero in combat very well....
I used the new minas tirith commander's body for the starting point.
Firstly I sawed his head off and replaced it with boromir's from the boromir captain of minas tirith model.
I then swapped the captains sword with boromir's- cutting so i could also transfer the hilt of the sword.
Boromir C.o.t.w.t's horn was also transfured with much difficulty as i tried to keep the figure in one piece while trying to take the horn from his waist.
I made Boromir's shield using green stuff- my first time with the stuff, having to add to it's thickness later as it was far too thin.
Green stuff also made boromir's right hand shoulder pad and upper arm as well as helping to make the head look more in place after hair was sculpted on it (cant really see it on the images).
I cut part of the orc that the original commander was standing on off with pliers and then covered the remainder of it in blue tac and sculpted some steps for boromir to be climbing on the top, green stuff was then put on top and sculpted to look like crumbling stone, a new fallen orc was then added to the base...
I think he is pretty much done now...all he needs is some paint
painted W.i.p pics will be coming too...
now for my next project...the gimli painting comp...
