A little conversion into a more belligerent pose .

 


The Officers for mt French Infantry unit are the above figure , which as a Artillery Officer would be okay but to me he seems to be pointing which Cake/Patisserie he wants , So......


A much more aggressive attitude ! . I flattened a pin carefully drilled a hole in his hand and glued the pin into the hole - touched the paint up and 'voila'  ! a leader of men !

  1. Nice idea Tony, he looks far better brandishing a sword

  2. Very well done: wish I had thought about flattening a pin when I had to add some swords to some figs: did you do that with a hammer?

    1. Yes i have an old small headed hammer (my father in law's, he was a carpet layer) which i use to gently tap the pin on a vice top -"carefully to avoid hitting your fingers !

  4. A simple conversion but what a difference it makes, makes a fine officer for the infantry.
