Hello fellow immortals,
So I dug out the old case and unpacked the workshop the other day. I found a lot of unfinished work, and have decided some of it needs finishing. Also some of the new VC models are amazing! For example, I never liked the black knight models before, but the new ones! I bought some and was going to convert them heavily with empire bits, but they're just so nice I'm just changing shields, adding swords/maces, and changing the banner! I had thought of a weapon swap on the champ, but I do like the sword.
So here's what I was working on for the banner. It involved the tightest pin-drill I've ever done! I can't believe it fit actually!
Original banner and to be converted/swapped banner:
The drilled and pinned bottom half (with concept idea in the background):
Comparing my drill's diameter with the diameter of the BK lance's handle diameter, they look almost identical! I drilled the hole depth until it went through the handle completely, and in to the counterbalancing part of the lance's back halft.
The finished product:
Actually I think it's unfinished. I think I'm going to greenstuff the handle so it's the same diameter as the banner pole on the top half. I also want to add some skulls and stuff.
Here's the style I'm trying to match it to from my skeleton unit:
