Title: Converting a sailor
Post by: Evilcartoonist on March 23, 2009, 08:35:33 PM: I've been playing Two Hour Wargames' Friday Night Fights (bare knuckle version) and was painting up fighters (for a 1930s pulp setting), and I wanted a good sailor fighter, so I tried a little converting:

I'm sure there are plenty of U.S. sailor minis out there; I just needed one that would match up well with Copplestone's figures.

Thanks for sharing here on the LAF.

WINNER!! Yep. I've been reading some Costigan stories and hit upon this idea. So now I have a Costigan when I play Friday Night Fights.
