I'm about to start painting another British Grenadier Company and thought I should convert a figure to use as the officer . In the centre is the original type of figure used, on the right the figure used to get the head needed with a Mitre cap and on the left the finished figure with a Irregular 40mm musket added . 'Green Stuff' putty is used to get the hair and gorget and remake the hand.
The Sergeant figure with a simple head swap and 'Green Stuff' to cover the joint , now to spray them ready for painting.
Good idea, well executed!

It will be interesting to see the new Karoliner molds with separate head molds that PA is promising. It is to be hoped they can also be grafted onto the old figures.
ReplyDeleteYes I got a Email about those , I await with interest as the last batch of moulds were a bit naff !
