Chainfist and Legs

Another update then. The chainfist detailing is pretty much done. I'm hoping there's enough detail there to hide my inability to paint ;). A couple of bits need smoothing up, I'll dig out the ultrafine tamiya paper I've got kicking around and see what I can do.

Started on the greaves. They both have their edging, and the right one has most of its rivets and the eagle decoration. Quite happy with this one.

The left greave has some rivets, then I ran out (and my punch is blunt..noooo, ebay will hopefully provide in the next couple of days). I'm going to do some stripes on the left side of the centre panel, then on the right side I'm thinking half a shield in a forward position, kind of like a jousting knight. It'll make sense if it works.

Oh and I think I'm going to scratch build a head. I'm thinking of my own take on a bretonnian knight helmet I got ages ago (and used on an Emperor's Champ), but much bigger. I think it'll work, but we shall see.
