With the Commandos nearly done, it's time to look at some opposition

My first thought was Fallschirmjäger but having looked around a bit I wanted something a bit different, so went with the Gebirgsjäger

Very nice work

Very nice. Who is the manufacturer? I have some old Britannia and IT figures but could do with some more.

It figures?

These are a kit bash of SHQ bodies and Kelly Heroes heads and packs, I'm planning more as well as some standard ones. ELHIEM also make some nice ones

IT Figures were an independent company back in the '90s. They are now sold by Frontline Wargaming. They cost about 60p per figure and the price probably reflects the quality.

Nice conversion, love Gebirgjagers, I made my own Gebirgjagers as well, about a platoon + used various plastics, with the odd metal and green stuff.

They look fantastic

I've found plenty of figures in the headover anorak but would like to mix in a few with the windproof jacket, but that's proving a bit tricky, might see if I can proxy with some winter figures

Failing that I might see if I can convert some Heer in smocks to add a bit of variety

Head swap a field cap, then put a hood on some smocked SS.

And add a mountain ruck

Just need to find the right donors, Adlers were my first though, but they are in the two-piece camo suits

A few more

Mix of kelly heroes (Grubby Tanks) and an SHQ officer with a head swap to match then better

Gunner Dunbar · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2023, 08:59:17 PM »

They look great.

Thanks, I'm enjoying painting them

Few more
