Looks like it will be a great conversion when completed!

With my archers ready to fight, it's time for the next wip, the swordsmen. The formation hero is Boromir. The formation has a hornblower (almost ready) and a banner-bearer ("under construction"). Here are the photos: |

More lovely work, BotWT. Will the Hornblower be called Horatio? Apologies for the bloody awful pun  Puns are not just for Christmas, you know.

Not much of a progress about the B's boys, just the hornblower is almost ready: |

Not so hard Chris because I found it ready. Check the Undead warrior to see what I mean.Though, to tell you the truth I felt sorry that I had destroyed this miniature. That's why, I asked from a friend of mine to give me some WH heads. I used the horns of the middle head for my Dwarf Shieldbearer. The rest I will use them to convert other miniatures to Hornblowers. |

| Post subject: | Giant Eagle |
A few days ago, me and my wife went to shops to buy presents for friends' children. There, I saw an eagle plastic toy, which I bought having in mind to convert it to a LotR Giant Eagle (it costed 6 euros). The conversion was an interval to Boromir's boys project. Here are the results: |

Nice job. It makes a perfect substitute for the GW eagle. Looks really good too. Have you painted that was it already painted like that? |

Thanks for the comments. The first photo shows the eagle with its original colours. The second shows the size of the eagle if you compare it with a WoMT. The third shows what I did. I just repainted the feet and the wooden stick. Next, I washed the white feathers with Devlan mud because they were too bright. I also washed the beak because it was flat yellow. Finally, I added a GW base. That's it, not a lot of a conversion I must confess! |

Lookin' really good. I have kept my eye out for a nice cheap toy eagle I could pick up and convert, but I have never come across one. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep looking. |

Another interval from Boromir's boys. This time a friend of mine asked for Beregond. So, I took a poor archer, cut him in pieces, changed the head, the right hand and prolonged the legs! Below you can see the result so far. Tomorrow with green stuff I will make longer the tunic and make a cloak too. |

Interesting, although atm, the head looks too gnarled and ancient to be Beregond, but it may well end up better when painted. The Eagle av=bove is well painted, and looks better than GW though. |

Thank you for the comment. You are right, the head is taken from a Roman soldier. OK then, add to the tunic and the cloak, conversion for the hair. I will give him a long medieval style hair. |

Looking forward to seeing how Beregond turns out!
