The torrential rain subsided enough for me to get out for a walk locally. I am fortunate to have the countryside very near as I live towards the edge of town. In the afternoon the postman brought some 1/32 plastic Wurttemberg Napoleonic figures ( very swift service from Drum and Flag as usual) which will form the basis of some National Guard in slightly different uniforms. An enjoyable time was spent starting the conversions as seen in the photos. Time flew by and I was absorbed by the task in hand and looking forward to carrying them on today. As the clocks changed overnight I awoke to daylight which was great too.

Nice conversions Alan, are they Scalelink heads?.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The heads are from Dorset Model Soldiers who make a great range of spare heads, arms etc.
DeleteStrangely, I've been looking at their Baden infantry, but painting them up as Prince Rupert's Foot Guards for my Ruritanian Civil War, they even have the correct helmets. Those figures you have converted look very nice, and just the job for NG units with cut-away coats.

I look forward to seeing the Ruritanian figures. The plastics work well and have the added advantage of being reasonably priced.
DeleteNice way to spend the day.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed.
ReplyDeleteLove the trail/path pics and the sign!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the toy soldiers!
