[Phalanx]

The sarrissa is , but you´re going to have a lot of work to get the Phalanx finished

[bilsonius]

Looking good! As already mentioned, nice sarissa (flattened wire?)
A couple of easy tweaks that I find improve the look of the phalangite;
1) A blob of flesh-painted putty or similar on the outside of the hand, so that the sarissa looks as though it's being held, rather than sticking to the outside of his knuckles
2) Carefully twist head to the left, so that he is looking more in the same direction as his weapon. This especially helps the look en masse, if all figures and pikes are pointed forwards.
Best of luck. Looking forward to seeing next instalment.

@bilsonius...

thanks for the putty-tip.
But this will become a man of the rear-nerly marching component of the phalanx.
So take a look on his feet... he`s definitly on the march and handles his sarissa in front of his body. I think.

thanks.

[Paul]

Bilsonius´s idea is a good one I also use wire but to attach it to the bod I warm it up over a candle and then hold it against the fig, melting the hands slightly, then by turning the sarrissa the now soft plastic of the figures hands forms around the shaft. mind you the idea from bilsonious would allow moulding of the fingers and save fingers from getting burnt

hi my friends.
the sarissai are hair of an broom.
I use something to make it small atthe end of the spearhead and the buttspike.
the meeting point of buth parts is simular thik color who i put on with the brush.
It`s very easy and I SHOW it in the next update.
CHEERS
