Looking through my figures I am using for my Far East forgotten armies I am looking a little lean on Officers for my Command stands. While I have quite a few Officers, they are just duplicates of three main poses, which can look a plain. So I have been looking at some conversion possibilities. Above Matchbox Commando with Matchbox ANZAC head, he is all action and bounding ahead...a good look for a leader.
Again another Matchbox Commando with this time a Airfix Australian Infantry hat. He does look to be directing something or rather and the Sten is a nice touch.
Lastly another Matchbox/Airfix head swap with the Thompson singling him out as a leader. I think these will do quite nicely as a start. The British Battle dress makes a good set of Jungle Greens, and I think the woolly sweater can make a passable scrim scarf...from a distance.
Neat,very, very neat :)
ReplyDeleteI think you have an excellent unit of bespoke figures that would do well to grace any wargame table :)
Some nice conversion there Paul. Number 2 & 3 in particular. What rules do you use for 20mm?
ReplyDeleteToo kind Geordie! Beccas Al and I use Command Decision Three (CD3), but I have house rules used for Company level actions copied from the old Airfix ruleset.
