Title: Guardia Civil HMG team
Post by: WillieB on 30 April 2008, 05:13:46 PM

Think I found a good 'home' for that beautiful Guardia Civil officer.

Decided to make him commander of a HMG team. The pose is quite believable, arrogant and nochalant at the same time. Who else would just stand there smoking a fag whilst directing fire?

Of course this meant that I had to make a Guardia  gunner and loader myself
(one of these days these wild ideas will kill me) and since they have rather specific uniforms the  existing Anglian crew couldn't be used.

Luckily I still had some Renegade early WWI German crewmembers in my spare box and a two days, lots of Magic Sculp, lead foil and a few scarred fingers later this is the result.

Replaced the helmet under the officers foot with an ammo box.

Hope that Nigel isn't too cross at me for mutilating his figures.....
