Been getting the urge to paint some of my dwarfs but wasn't really that keen on a big painting slog to finish off one of the many big units I need to paint. So after much thought I came up with a great idea for a little diorama and have spent the last week slowly working on the parts I'd need to create my vision. So on to the plan, I have always loved the idea of dwarf cavalry and have had a soft spot for the very old ME15 Gimli on pony model. So using that as the starting point I've tried to convert him into a more cavalry type model. So here's the mock up, nothing glued but all the converting is complete.
The hardest part was removing the inner part of the shield as I want a flat area where I can hopefully paint a nice design. Using a very sharp scalpel I was able to hack out the area and then using watered down Liquid green I was able to slowly fill in the area and create an area I can work on. Apart from that it was just a case of repositioning the hand, removing the axe and green stuff the areas where that axe had been. So hope you like.
