The Ride of the Rohirrim Part Three - Éowyn and Elfhelm conversions

"But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless. For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."

Here is Elfhelm and Éowyn. Elfhelm was converted from the sword wielding Rider of Rohan, and the angle of his sword was lowered to point forwards, with some horse hair sculpted to his helmet, much like the Rohan Outriders. On the right, we have Éowyn. I used the axe wielding Rider of Rohan for her body, replacing the head with that of one my Éowyn models, and the axe with a Throwing Spear. I extended the chainmail armour and sculpted some more armour over the top, in the style of the armour she wears in the film.
