Well nursing my sore finger I have completed the swapping of heads to complete my British Crimean War Royal Horse Artillery , here we have a gun and crew about to fire. I used 'green stuff' to provide collars (to hide evidence of surgery) and add water bottles and knapsacks .
This gun is being loaded by it's crew . The alternative heads seem to match well so I'm pleased with these conversions . When the 'green stuff' is set I will spray them with black undercoat and hopefully get them painted later in the week .
Enjoyable series of posts, interesting and nostalgic to me. Looking forward to seeing the painted conversions. Thank you.

The conversions went better than I thought they would looking forward to painting them.
DeleteThey look nice, very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks can't wait to paint them
ReplyDeleteThey look really good!
ReplyDeleteBetter than I thought .
DeleteA very effective looking conversion.
ReplyDeletePleased with the result
DeleteThey certainly do look good! Perhaps now you could make a green stuff bandage for your finger?
ReplyDeleteFixed the cut with a dab of super glue (don't try this at home!)
DeleteGood work.... tempted to have a bash at some 1/72 stuff again myself.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I'm a reluctant converter , but am pleased with these .
DeleteVery nicely done, Tony. Did you just glue them on, or is there some arcane welding technique at work?
ReplyDeleteNow....if you were to put kepis on the headless Frenchmen....

I drilled heads and bodies and fitted using pins with super glue , sadly the decapitated French are headed for the bin .
DeleteTony,
ReplyDeleteSuper effort there with your figure conversions- most successful. Having dappled in this type of fun with Esci 1/72nd- I can see that with some effort you are getting exactly the type of troops needed. Cheers. KEV.
Luckily I needed to convert 8 figures - not a whole regiment .
