I'm not happy with my conversion, so i'm looking to re-do it lol

Guys Q = what would you use to model a spear shaft ?

What material ?

Is there is supplier of 2-3 mm width plastic rods etc ?

[commandant]

you can get 2-3mm brass rods for toy trains, both solid and hollow

You can't fool me ... with a blue and red quartered pattern to his uniform, he's from Altdorf. Plus the skull and lettering on his shield ... it's a dead give away (and yes, pun intended).

Not in any Empire army book or the collectors' guide. Could it be from the big 7th ed rulebook? Don't have it at hand atm.

Interesting stuff, Chum.

Have you ever posted pictures of EVERYTHING you got?

[mr chumley warner]

i have sold lots, i think i have addiction problems, always have.

Better to focus on harmless minis than alcohol etc.

i have to keep selling some to keep up with my addiction , lol

If it harms no you or one around you, doesn’t affect your health or living conditions then it matters not. Sell on! Buy on! And enjoy it all. 😺

[mr chumley warner]

Agreed

here is a random one

So there's still some hope that maybe a small number of these did perhaps get cast and may exist in the big wide world somewhere??? 

[mr chumley warner]

It looks like they did yep

[mr chumley warner]

Fixated on perfecting my copy of the unreleased GW Spearman, i stripped off my prior green attempts, and re-sculpted the leg plates and mid area plus cod piece. Just waiting for a delivery of the correct arms now.

As a modelist, it’s possible your insane 😺

Very cool

[mr chumley warner]

lol , i get these ideas , then cant leave it alone until it's done

[mr chumley warner]

i sourced a 50mm brass rod, 2.38mm wide....

Now decided i need 2.0mm, lol

[Jmash]

I got some plastruct styrene rods a few weeks ago that are actually hexagonal in cross section, to match the new state troops polearms and standards...

They're the right shape but not sure how sturdy they will be, I'm attempting to drill them out and slide over brass rods like a sheath, brass gives it the strength and the hexagonal sheaths give it the shape... or at least that's the plan!

Arms? I sent legs!

Along with an Easter surprise for you and your wife.

The freaking postage was more than expected, and made me wonder if it was being affected by Brexit, although I'd heard postage cost to and from England were going to be more even before Brexit got finalized.

@JSmash: Is it possible to contact that guy? I was unable to, but I have a way to get stuff sent from Britain to Ireland, WITHOUT going the normal way. It's a special service called AddressPal, run by An Post, the Irish national postal service.

I was trying to discuss it with him, to see if he would send that way, but couldn't send a message. It would start by sending a package to Hatfield AL10 9WN, and after that, Customs, etc. would be my responsibility.

Problem is, I can't contact him to ask is he willing to ship to the given address...
