As with the first lot (set 2), 12 bods and 12 nags in 6 poses. The nags are the same as set 2 so after a hot water bath, their heads got repositioned.
As with set 2 you get extras, this time two spears, a sword, a quiver, two bows and a saddle bag which attaches to the nag in the same way the bow or quiver attaches, with a peg
Again, as with set 2, no flash!! None!! 10/10 and a Gold star for that.🌟
Close ups
8 Bods in 6 poses and loose crossbows.
The shields are from the MiniArtFrench Knights with Assault Ladders set.
They are, like the Armoured Longbowmen from TD, they are painted in the colours of John Bourchier.
All poses from Both sets and 5 conversions, a standard bearer, hornist and 3 archers doing a parthian shot. Well not quite a full Parthian shot but they are new at the job.....and not Parthians, so we´ll let them off.
Another lot of fantasy bods from DDS, the Light Alliance´s Elves set 3
10 poses in the set, virtually no flash. 3 of them are female and they could have gone with a second set of just females. Or possibly three sets. The first set cloaked and helmeted heavy inf types that could form a battle line and the second set archers and the third female fighters.
When put alongside the average 1/72nd bod these are a bit taller but that´s ok as Elves are described as being around 6`6" (or taller) so taller than men.
Ok...10 poses? 😏Na, I think there´s some conversions possible with this lot. Where´s my scalpel? 😉
There is always, however complicated, some conversion possibilities in every set of plastic 1/72nd Bods.
I´ve managed to get 5 from set 3. All archers but that´s what elves do best.
Body swops. Top halves swopped onto bottom halves. The two male elves were a straight exchange. the Top half of the Archer female from the kneeling pose onto the bottom half of the sword wielding standing pose.
56 Bods x 4 Sprues x 14 poses.
There´s a bit of flash on some of the Bods but it´s not a lot so not too much effort to remove it.
Finally, after a long period of inactivity, something to post.
33 Bods of different makes, Emhar, Strelets, Airfix, Tumbling Dice
It will all be alright in the end. If it´s not alright now, then it´s not the end :-)
What is the collective noun for them? Cyclopes?
Never mind. 12 in the box in 4 poses. I think they missed a trick with this lot. They could have added a sprue of 2 eyed heads so they could be converted to giants.
Close ups
12 bods and 10 Nags.
10 of the bods, 9 mounted and one on foot*, are the "run of the mill" and hard to tell apart Nazgûl / Ringwraiths. each one dressed the same as the last.
Tiny amount of flash, mainly on the nags. The one really annoying thing, the fit of the riders to the nags. I had to remove plastic from the inside of the riders legs AND from the sides of the nags so the riders would sit properly. One or two of the riders still, even after surgeory, had be put in hot water to have thier legs bent a bit wider.
Trying to catch Arwen..Not. She was sitting at home in Rivendale. Frodo was alone on Asfaloth (Glorfindel´s Horse) during the chase.
The mounted one is the Mouth of Sauron, Lieutenant of Barad-Dûr. The nag for the Mouth of Sauron. All the Nag poses are very active, which doesn´t fit to his relaxed pose. I was going to use a Nag from another set but went for repositioning the rear leg of one of those supplied. Not a 100% satisfactory result, but better than him sitting on a mount that looks like it´s running at Ascot.
