Perry plastics conversions

[Stuart]

Thought I'd share a WIP

These took a painfully long time but I'm quite pleased with them. Here I have attempted to bring these minis from the late 15c to early 16c by sculpting skirted coats typical of the period.

They will eventually be a mixed unit of French missile foot.

Any more ideas of what I could do to Tudorise these plastics?

Thanks

Stuart

Great work with the Green Stuff Stuart.

Have you ever toyed with the GW 'Empire' heads? They are a whisker too large for the Perry plastics - but not so that you'd notice unless you were really looking to pick holes.
Mason kindly sent me a few, and I've used some of them - they include quite a wide selection of Tudor-ish / landsknecht style flat hats, with and without adornment... For instance:







Not sure how easy these are to get hold of, but I guess an appeal for spares here on LAF might yield a few donations to further youur project

Excelent work Stuart.
Love those conversions.

Like Captain Blood says if you need some empire heads from GW i dont mind to send some.
The ones i have are from the militia box if they are of any use. Just pm me if you want.

Failing boardmembers, bitzbox.co.uk might be a help

Thanks Captain for the cloth caps notion and Rumacara for the offer, i'm pressing on with the sculpting and modifying some of the plastics heads, this is addictive

I've got to say that these are really excellent conversions Stuart!! 

The first mini on the right elucidates your technique nicely too which is always useful

If only I had the patience. Lovely conversions. They will look the biz when finished
