Here are some Hungarian Infantry made from different Warlords plastic pieces…

Please feel free to comment, point out obvious mistakes or any things that bugs you or that you like.

Sorry for the rather dark picture.

Cheers!

I don't know enough about WWII Hungarians to spot any mistakes....but they look great to me, good work!
Maybe a little earth colour on the bases, as it looks a little like the foliage is sprouting from gravel?

They look great - well done. :)

Please tell us which parts you used to do the conversions.

Regards

Thanks!

I’ll try to take better pictures later on. The bases are actually sand colored…

I’ve use Japanese body for the figures in puttees.

Figures in greatcoat are from the Russian in winter uniform box.

Most heads, arms and weapons are from either the German or the Blitzkrieg German sets. The figures running with a MG34 on its shoulder actually have Fallschirmjägers arms.

The same figures… this is intended as a test to see if the picture look better that way… let’s hope so….

A man after my own heart, I've been converting Warlord plastics from Russians into US GI's of late as well :)

I’ve done some test myself… I use the very few pieces I have left from a USMC sprue to make 3 figures… the covered helmet and bearded face head makes for a great "stuck in Bastogne" paratrooper… ;)
