OK, these first two girls were the exceptions as they were wearing perfectly acceptable sensible armour. The only problem was that the shields were wrong, being fantasy types. I filed off the shields and added new "heater" shields as seen. These just need a clean up to be ready for painting.
These were borderline but I decided not to change them too much. Originally they both had thick high boots. I carved these away to look as if they are wearing medieval hose (as worn by men) Not sure if I will use them or not yet.
Lastly here are two views of another figure. She was wearing a chainmail shirt? (looks more like a mini dress) with bits of very decorative armour, a silly tiara in her hair and thick boots. Her weapon was already broken so I started her first as an experiment. I altered her legs into hose and scraped/filed the detail off the armour plate. Then I filed the top of her head flat and added a kettle hat cut of a Front Rank HYW figure. I will still have to do something about the weapon but I am fairly pleased with the transformation.Any comments welcome.

They look like fun figures in a big-sword, big hair sort of way. Shame they weren't around when I played RPG games, we would have loved them.
Hi John.
Did you scroll back and have a look at my auxiliaries?
Very glad to see them in good hands, seems they found the right home at last.
Nice job on these, James!
Just looked at the auxiliaries - nice work. I need to get painting again...
You must possess a great deal of patience! These figures are really fascinating.
Maybe you could do a vlog for your next post! ;-) I'm guessing your accent is much more charming (like Chief Rock Chef's)than my American accent! :-)
