Ever since I got my hands on a copy of Bob Bard's catalog back in the mid-1950s I have been in love with
the collector type lead (and plastic) figures. Here's a few examples of what I've done in the way of painting,
conversion and other such things.
I mostly paint with acrylics, using enamel for the metals and the occasional addition of regular water-colors.
I don't solder, so epoxy and cyanoacrylate are used as adhesives, with body-putty filler and cut paper for belts,
cloaks, flags, pennons and the like.
An explanation of how the ground was done is on my Scenery page.
Cast lead with paper and plastic accessories.
The mail was hand engraved, and tiny chains secure
the sword and dagger to the breastplate. 54mm.

are mostly Historex.
