C&C welcome

[Lerra]

Awesome conversion. You can still see some of the mold lines though, most notably the bit of sprue on the wheel. The front fender looks a bit rough, too.

That shield looks great, though. Very IG-ish.

Theres a lot of cleaning to do but most of its held togeather with blue tack just now tis was just a 10 min mockup

[Firebird]

Any thoughts?

[Porty1119]

Two thoughts, actually. AWE SOME. I love the blue dazzle-cam scheme, and have never actually seen a bike Rough Rider pulled off well until this one.

[Denzark]

I like the idea, and the cammo scheme. Only comment is - is that the IG's jacket is quite a formal smart one with the button over flap - that and the shield + lance look quite incongrous with a modernisitc cam scheme. its well executed but would consider Napoleonic esque with the lance jacket combo - or go for one of the more chunky industrial lances?

After a months hiatus due to lack of funds i have gotten round to purchasing the bits require to finish off a squad of 5.

Im waiting for some maxmini armoured torsos to arrive for the riders so I made a start on gearing up the bikes.

If I'm not mistaken that is a Dark Elf Dreadlord lance on your original. Nice. Can't wait to see more!
