1/72 Post-Apoc
« on: December 27, 2013, 12:06:30 PM »

My first post here on the forum and just to say "hi" to everyone and to start by sharing some photos of some 1:72 / 20mm figures for near-future / post-apoc type games.



These are all plastic figures with head-swaps.







The ends of the weapons have been removed to make them look more like "blast" weapons.

Excellent results!  Which figures did you use in the conversions?

Thanks and thanks for the welcome.

dadlamassu, the figures are mostly Caesar moderns with heads taken from various sources. The guy with the long hair in the first photo is an Orion Russian figure with a head taken off an Imex Viking oarsman.

The ones with riot helmets got their heads off some Revell KSK and the caps are from Imex's Korean war sets.

These figures look fantastic! Do every one of them have their head swapped?
