One of the Heroic Warriors' preferred means of transportation is the Sky-Sled, the detachable front half of the Battleram vehicle. The Evil Warriors had their own version of course, but more on that some other time. Seen here is Man-At-Arms flying one of the flyers in stylish Filmation colours.
The model is a conversion of one of the old 1980's Grenadier Battleram models. I cut off the front half and added some detail that was missing from the back. For the rider, I removed the tab from a Quest Miniatures Man-At-Arms figure and the pose was practically a perfect fit. Some minor bending of the ankles to adjust it and a spare plastic hand from the same Fireforge soldier box previous bits were sourced from made it complete.
Man-At-Arms, foot and flying. I tried to make the eyes a bit smaller on this second version, but that doesn't seem to have been an improvement.
Now, now, using that laser in your wrist to shoot from above is a bit unsporting, old chap.
Excellent conversion and painted the job sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The Grenadier models are sculpted after the toys, so actually have a bit too much detail for the Filmation look, but once painted, it looks the part.
DeleteI love this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I will do a few more, but they require a bit of conversion work to get ready for painting.
