Once back I dug into a old box of type 1 Airfix British Commandos and had a review of if they were suitable for any simple conversions to my BEF 1940 army. I picked out a few above and cut their headovers off.
Matchbox British helmets were then glued on with PVA, instantly creating a new breed of British Army figures.
Last step before painting was the addition of superclay gasbags on a few for effect. If lucky I might get round to applying the basecoat tonight.
They look good, new life to old figures. I have an early war German project on the go right now, show you the results tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteRight on! I am still looking at 2 pounder options...
ReplyDeleteI like them far better than the Airfix Commandos (never my favourites)
ReplyDeleteActually Geordie, I believe Commandos are evryone's favourites:)
