Thanks Chaps.

You just gave me the urge to do something similar. I'm thinking I could put Indian heads on a lot of Conquest's marines also.

Indians are a subject that shout's out "NO DUPLICATIONS" aren't they?! Good idea for converting the Marines - I shall steal it for later use.

Nice! Is that based on a GW beastman head?

The one on the left is a conversion of the one in the middle (who's a repaint of the one on the right).

Here you can see some conversions for my napoleonic project "The Battle of Goehrde 1813".
The figures made from the Perry's and Victrix french and british plastics.
I made the peak cap of the Jaegers from the french tschakos and the french field caps by using "a cutter and glue"

Reference

"Feldjägerkorps von Kielmannsegge"

"Light Battalion Lüneburg in ca. August 1813"

a very nice conversion!

Is the peak cap of the jaegers similar to the prussian cap?

Yes, I think so.
But the 1813 hannoverian troops were uniformed with several clothing things from the french, prussian, russian and british armies.
In 1814 they became their british uniforms, e.g. the dark green brit. rifle unform for the Light Bat. Lüneburg.

Nice conversion indeed Fugazi. Ever since the first sets of plastic Napoleonic have been available I was wondering which other units could be done with a little conversion work. Really inspiring!

Aaron · « **Reply #84 on:** February 03, 2010, 04:55:31 PM »

I agree. Very effective and well done on the painting too!

I'm a little intimidated by the quality of some of the conversions I've seen here. My recent project was to create some Great Beasts from the Return of the King LoTR film. A dearth of suitable beasties to pull/push siege engines in a recent fantasy game inspired me to have a go after seeing an article in WD of someone who had successfully converted toy animal Rhinos...
The first two are plastic rhinos by different manufacturers found in charity shops with a Foundry 'Gondorian' for scale comparison.

This is #1 and by far the most successful. I had originally hoped to obtain similar models from toy shops etc. but it proved far harder to source these than I had first hoped.

The rougher more knobbly skin modelling of this second rhino and its larger size makes this the herd leader in my book.

After a year or so on the back burner I took the plunge and tried converting other similar sized animals. This started life as a plastic baby elephant. It had roughly the same bulk but the different gait and head position makes for an interesting pose (after a radical nose job).

While #4 started life as a Hippo which still needs more work than the others.

I plan to let all 4 reach a similar stage of modelling - having added the humps, bulking out the shoulder and rump musculature, enlarging the feet and toes and completing the yokes before I finish off by sanding and filing and blending the green stuff into the original surfaces.

Some great conversions on here! I'll have to post some of mine up soon!

I picked up some Brigade Askaris because they were simply too cheap at Hotlead a while ago and finally got around to converting them into KNIL native troopers

I greenstuffed, or brownstuffed rather, the shorts into trousers. The fez was removed in favour for a woodbine company slouch hat.

Nice work Chairface! Thought of getting those askaris myself but not to chop their heads off...
