Were there any models more top heavy then those old guys? Great classic sculpt. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Thank you Olthannon, youwashock, JoshInJapan, Dysartes, Cap'n Facebeard, gobert, and Nevelon.
Some great comments fellows, which has pushed me to get these finished for the monthly challenge. Yes, I have added old metal scraps and some tiny nails underneath to keep them from falling over in a light breeze. I looked at the other one I had in the lean back position and I had moved him farther forward...wish I had noticed that and removed them from their bases before painting.
So the four Swooping Hawks are finished.
The long painting war continues...

Well Dysartes, since this months unofficial painting challenge is Let’s Finish This!...I figured I would pull out a conversion I had been thinking of doing for years.
I purchased this damaged Eldrad on eBay (missing his sword) and have been planning on converting him to a regular Farseer for years. Specifically like the conversion used in the second Eldar Codex for third edition.
So off come the arms, staff, and whatever the top of the helmet are called.
The long painting and converting war continues...

This guy is a much more understated farseer. Makes Eldrad look like a real bling-meister.

Thanks Cap'n,
So I found the resin sword was warped and when I was painting it, it looked really bad, so I cut it out and used the blade of a fantasy elf that had been in my bits box it was definitely lead. Had fun trying out the star pattern and the NMM.
The converted Farseer is finished.

Really nice work on the conversion and the paintjob, Cap'n - just a shame your original sword ended up warping.

Thank you Cap'n Facebeard, Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll, youwashock, Dysartes, Olthannon, and gobert
I have put him into the Unofficial Monthly Painting Challenge - https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/813713.page
Next up I am doing some old metal harlequins, both Solitaries (since I can only field one, going to do the other in a classic paint scheme, from when men were men, women were women, and little furry creature from Alpha Centauri were little furry creature from Alpha Centauri)

Finished.
As I had two old metal Solitaires, and you can only field one, I figured I would paint one in the crazy original scheme and the other in a more recent style to match my harlequins.
