Thanks chaps. They need a bit more work still

The other way to base them is to bend the wings much higher up. I have another set done that way, but they need under coating still

[Ithoriel]

I got round the problem in the end by getting a set of Pendraken Eagles and a couple of sets of GW Man O' War Elven Eagle Riders (with the riders snipped off). So much easier than the two sets of the real thing which wound up being both offset and having their wings posed so they fitted together.

After a few busy days, managed to get a bit of time to add some different shades to some of the eagles wings, add a wash for some depth, and get the bases done tonight.



I'm pleased how these have come out, with not too much effort, they have gone from a motley collection to looking pretty good - just need a spray of dull cote if the weather co-operates at some point.

I'm hoping this thread can get to 50 pages and 20k views by the end of the year, which would be significant!

I do like those eagles

[toxicpixie]

Very nice - you'd think they were much bigger scale, really nice job!

50 pages is certainly do-able





Not so sure about 20,000 views but best of luck

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Brilliant.
















Fifty









Pages.




Easy

Thanks chaps

They are pretty huge, much more the size of a 28mm figure

I don't know if 20k views is doable, the view count has gone up about 1000 in the last couple of weeks, and there tends to be quite a lot of activity over Christmas.

[fred.]

Exactly 16,000 views as I post this!!

Finally found when I posted a page view count. So 2700 more views in about 3 weeks, would make 20k look possible. I need you eyes chaps

Eagles look absolutely cracking, Fred !!
You want my eyes ?
I'd stick with your own....Mine are pretty rubbish.

Yep, mine come complete with two sets of spectacles and a magnifying glass. 

[fred.]

Umm, that wasn't too clear was it.

I only want your eyes, in a temporary, looking at the thread kind of way, not in a wrapped up in a box in the post kind of way.

Allright then, was too eager, send them back when they arrive please...

[fred.]

Ok, but they might be delayed by the Christmas post, so if they are a bit mouldy just rinse them off before you pop them back in.

[jchaos79]

Eagels are coming !!!
