Ongoing Project with DreamForge Games Kits

I've been out of historical WWII modeling for over a decade.  I can't remember what was distinctive about the Kriegsmarine that you'd need a conversion set?

I was referring to the DFG Kriegsmarine models from the first kickstarter for metal infantry models.

They have a different helmet, backpack, and armor styling than the DFG Stormtrooper models.
The models, and a comparison shot with the stormtrooper model :

Ah, I hadn't pledged to the first campaign and didn't realize they were different.  Yes, some of those alternate bodies and back packs would be cool.

Are the metal ones available anywhere?

[ski2060]

Not anymore that I know of.  Mark may have some left over, but I thought they all sold out.

Sturmtruppen vs Kriegsmarine



they'll fit very well with the Micropanzer Mechs

I got hold of a box of troopers on Sunday and  must say that they are very sharp. I was a little disappointed that there were only the standard rifles in the box... but apart from that they are lovely looking minis (I will be getting the upgrade box to add a bit of variety at some point).

Shame about the rifles - though the accessory box looks pretty brilliant (and appeared to me to be a "must buy" if you do invest in the troopers).

I really need to come up with an excuse to buy these...dammit!

Very nice PJ (and on the metal too; and your right - they look good with the Striders!). I've got mine and started a few conversions and building a couple of Mules (fiddly build on the legs, yes, but doable). Pics on the blog.... http://dwartist.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/an-eisenkern-passenger.html

I've got my first mule finished.  I used the "smart mule" head and gave it a couple of interchangeable pallet loads.  One is Class V (ammunition) and one is Class I (Food & Water).  Mark was dead on saying that the kit was fiddley, those tiny leg parts took a bit of patience to get together.  I stronlgy recomend his tip to assemble the legs first and then attach them to the body.

As always, comments welcome.

Very cool...and oddly i think you could use that Mule for some pretty cool 6mm-10mm sci-fi stuff too (as a gigantic loader etc.)

Looks great - and a much better photo of a trooper

Thanks.  High praise indeed.  I must admit that I'm too lazy to read that 2" thick manual that came with my camera, so I put it on auto and hope for the best.  I'm never sure how pictures are going to turn out.

[Elbows]

Trick is to turn on your Macro setting - much better for small/close up work.  Works a treat.

[rwwin]

All of my pictures were taken with the macro setting.  The problem I run into is with the auto focus.

No fan of "Space Nazis" but these look good enough to make an exception if I used this scale which I unfortunately don't.

Great work on all the figures.

Gracias,
