Title: Confederate infantry head conversions
Post by: General Lee on 17 October 2012, 12:01:41 AM

Since I'm still waiting for the new plastic Confederate infantry by the Perries (how much longer is it going to take??) I thought I'd prepare and do some conversions. here's the result. the heads I used are from different kits. Most of them are from the Zouave box, others I took from the Victrix and Perry Nap. French infantry and one head (the left one) is from the Wargames Factory WW2 American set.

I love plastics  :-*

Ah, very clever, indeed! I especially like the Victrix heads, they would look splendid on a Federal officer. Certainly a great way to add some variety to the Perry infantry.

Incidentally I stumbled upon a blog post where someone did a very similar thing: Steve Barber heads placed on Perry infantry for more diversity. They seem to work rather well together.

Nice job, General, I will look forward to seeing them painted up.
