Drakons - work in progress

Now obviously I show be finishing the servitors I started a few months go … but not to get me out of the painting malaise I decided to put together the Mantic drakon riders for my elf army … these obviously need a fair bit of green stuff action as I want them to fit in with the Ral Partha minis which make up the bulk of the army. 

These are still a work in progress. All need new plumes on their helmets. I was using spare hoplite crests, but lost one and they are a little bit thin for fantasy minis.

Drakon 1 - need to smooth the join between lance and GW spear join and check for gaps. 
Drakon 2 - the one I lost the crest from - same as 1. 
Drakon 3 - nearly there. Plume mainly. 
Drakon Lord - I swapped in a GW dragon knight rider for the lord, a more imposing figure in me opinion. I am going to change the angle of the lance, need to press mould a shield and sculpt the fabric on his under skirts. 
I think I will base on 60mm squares rather than 50mm that came with the kits. 
Nice models to put together - hopefully I can do them justice. 

So plenty to do - plus the servitors …
