Title: Some british reinforcements
Post by: Ballardian on 19 April 2015, 03:12:58 PM

After something of a figure painting hiatus (been mostly vehicles lately) I managed to do some more brits for SotTR, hopefully I'll be finished by the time the new edition arrives!

Very nice work. I especially liked the crouched packed LMG gunner

Did you kit bash some of the Westwind stuff or what?

Many thanks for the kind comments,  ColonelKurtz - in the picture, the assault Brens,  officer & rifleman /radio-operator are unmodified WestWind minis, the rest are  converted Warlord models - I made & cast an armoured torso, cut off the original Warlord one, used Warlord arms & a West wind head (sounds laborious but not actually too bad). The lmg gunner was done like that, the.30 cal  was from The Assault Group (it came moulded on a tripod, which was removed & a small ammo box added - made from sprue). The .30 cal  fitted well in the Warlord minis arms with no real fiddling.
 Here's a pic of one of the infantry pre-paint so you can see the new seperate torso.

Really impressive like the conversions a lot, given me some ideas
