Alternative Home Guard figures
« on: April 21, 2013, 11:38:07 PM »
what are some alternative figures for home guard other than Foundry?
Foundry are a bit expensive.

edit
in 28mm
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Convert warlord plastics by trimming the ammo packs on the webbing as i have done on the figure on the right



& you could alter the puttees but I don't think thats reall necerssary, the rest is just painting them the right colours ;)

£10 for 8 models ain't that bad, £1.25 per metal model is pretty average

There's something very odd about those side caps  ???



I picked up loads of Foundry HG from Ebay & I got some from Colonal Bills, looks like they only have the pushbikes left

Possibly because they're not worn on the side, but plonked on top of the head like tea cosies?  ;)

Great work on those plastics Keith.

Could also be that they look about 5 sizes too big  :)
