Converting a sailor
« on: 23 March 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.

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.
