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.

Good stuff, Cap'n! I really like the pale blue for the suit.

Good job CB.

Good to see the Hawks finished off, Captain - what's on deck next for the pointy-eared gits?

Looks good, nice variety of blues

Thank you youwashock, Colonel Jacka, Cap'n Facebeard, and Dysartes,

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.

Oh, very cool. A neat throwback and certain to be another good mini.

I love the old Farseer models, Eldrad included.

Hawks turned out well Captain! Looking forward to the Eldrad conversion

Thank you gentlemen.

Progress:


Cheers,

Wow! When you first showed the broken Eldrad I was just expecting a new pistol hand. This is much more exciting

Very cool! Where’d you source the parts?

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

A very Nice character to add to the army

Amazing kitbash cap, looking forward to see it painted!

Did you cast your own replacement parts on the Eldar.

Thanks gobart, made them from resin parts of a Warlock.

Thank you Cap'n Facebeard, theCrowe and muette.

Thanks, Yes, I made them from resin parts ages ago.

First layer of paint.



And a picture of the inspiration for this one:
