I'm converting Elrohir on his horse into a mounted armoured Glorfindel. How can I get an armoured head without getting the whole model again? How easy do you think it would be to sculpt if not?

I've done it. But you'll need a cone tipped shaper for the contours on the helmet

Unless he looks like a dark circle with a diagonal band through it, the pic doesn't work :P
(right clicking on it, selecting 'properties' and copying the link does work though, looks good so far and looking forward to seeing him fully painted!).

On Photobucket, just click the "direct link" url on the right and then when you post it here, put inside the IMG tags and it works like a charm!

That's exactly what I'm doing rigg1313, only I'm using the other twin. Twin Glorfindels, now that would be a hell-a team!

Neat and simple conversion. I've seen people do the same with Elrond and Glorfindel.
