Well I give it a shot. Got some Green Stuff, assembled three 8th Army minis, and went to work. Here are the results. I still have to do the final trim and shaping after full cure of the Green Stuff.
The one thing I really like about plastic figures over metal is the ease of kit-bashing and conversions.
See the pictures below of some really simple German Grenadiers (Warlord plastics) conversions.
I made these using parts from other sets (bits box), or modifying the parts from the original sprue.
Yes, I still have mold lines to clean up, but some of the poses are really good.Arm parts are as follows: AK = Afrika Korps plastic set, GG = German Grenadiers plastic set, BG = Blitzkrieg German plastic set, FJ = Fallschirmjager plastic set.
GG1 – AK#30, modified GG#25 and #39. Can also use AK#8 instead.
GG2 – BG#12, BG#40. GG#16-17, BG#9.
GG3 – GG#38, GG#15, GG#26. GG#18,GG#15, GG#59-60.
GG4 – AK#40-41. FJ#35.
GG5 – AK#20-21 (x2).
GG6 – GG#16-17 and GG13 but with shorter sling (modify) (x2).
GG7 – BG#34, BG#13. AK34, GG18 or BG11 or AK31.
