I've been very busy and had a health scare, but everything seems to be back on track. Knock on wood. Bank Holiday weekend gave me the chance to finally do some headswaps I've been planning to do for a while now.

I've had bought 2 sets of the Poles in then KS and also added some extra figures from the first Arnhem KS for the head swaps I had in mind.

I wanted the poles to have abit more variation so.... One whole Poles with berets have all had head swaps for either a Para berets or airborne helmet. And vice versa to avoid wasting lovely miniatures.

My favourite from this ended up being the Vickers gunner the head swap here was from the ambulance driver. Really enjoy the look for the gunner having a smoke while on watch.

Just need to do the green stuff. Will add scrim and tidy up necks and ears that were lost in the chopping up 

[M Blakey]

I had a spare pack, Al Murray and James Holland figures, so head swapped them with Urquhart and Sosabowski. ASLs theybhave done so mich to raise awareness of what happend  during the battle of Arnhem I plan to have a small diorama set where SGT Dennis Smith is taking a pic of them outside the Hartenstein Hotel.

The spare heads I had left in turn had head swaps with other figures. Just want some variety in my Arnehm project.

[M Blakey]

Dutch resistance head swaps and 1 of the stretcher team had a head swap. Images of 133rd parachute Field Ambulance at Arnhem gave me the inspiration for the no helmet no beret orderly.

[M Blakey]

Will be working on all the vehicles this evening. Adding the luggage and making them look like they aren't from the show room.

Super cool choices with the head swaps.
