Sturm Grenadiers: **SCOUTS COMPLETED**
« on: 05 August 2008, 06:19:30 PM »
I started doing some more infantry for Secrets of the Third Reich and I really like the new minis by Artizan, but there are only a few poses available.
I looked through their range and found some "normal" troops which would be easy to convert. It was a simple case of sculpting some gas masks and body armour to match them up ( sort of...)

Artizan Conversions

The commander has just had a head swap with a Westwind SOTR mini and the other four have gas-masks and armour sculpted on.

Artizan Sturm Batallion

These guys are "As is" with no conversion.

Mix and Match

The seem to fit together OK.

Next up will be an MG42 crew and some riflemen.

Regards

Great conversion Pappa! If you mixed them all up I'm not sure I could tell which you did and which already were.

Very nice PM - as we have come to expect from you.

All these nice figures being shown have convinced me to try a WWWII force of my own. Watch this space ....
