It's taken me quite a while to actually finish this section of British, it was hanging around on my workbench for weeks. This is a composite section in terms of being metals and plastics. The metal figures come mostly from AB with one Wartime Miniatures figure, and the plastics are conversions plus a flamethrower bloke from Caesar Miniatures. For the converted plastics I chopped up and combined figures from Airfix and Italeri to get another bloke sweeping for mines & another detonating a charge. Well, here they are, I hope you like them:
 |
| AB, AB, Airfix/Italeri Conversion, Wartime, AB |
 |
| Caesar Miniatures on far left, rest AB. |
 |
| Wartime, AB, Caesar. |
 |
| Yes, I know that you probably couldn't roll up battledress sleeves like that- perhaps he's wearing denim? Sign is hand-painted. |
 |
| I gave the flamethrower bloke some protective leather gloves. |
 |
| Bloke on the right pushing down the plunger has Italeri body with Airfix head. |
Another great set of figs, to be honest I didn't think metals and plastics would mix very well but you make it work well, that ceaser fig fits in really well with the metals, good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan. I was glad to get these finally finished. I guess keeping the basing & painting style similar helps a unit like this to look ok as a group.
DeleteWow! Thats a great paintjob!

Glad you like the mix of figures Paul & thanks for your kind words. Yeah, I used a pretty small brush for the sign, I think it was a 20/0 .

DeleteI think John is better!
