I am currently setting myself small hobby goals which will take my gaming forward. Today I have been sticking together Perry Miniatures Afghan 28mm figures to use in my Tradgardistan games. To be honest I seem to be gluing myself to myself much of the time. Anyway progress is being made and I discovered that I had quite a few jezails left on the sprue, some with arms attached. I decided to use them to add some jezail firing figures to my Garrison figures. They come with bow, spear or sword. I removed spears and/or arms and replaced them with the Perry plastic bits. Here is a couple of photos of the conversions so far. More photos when they are painted.
Nice looking figures - they'll be right at home in your new hills
ReplyDeleteThanks, they would indeed. If only I can find where I have popped their chums in the shed...
DeleteEcho what MJT said. Those hills are a clever idea and sit well within a gridded game.
ReplyDeleteTalk of jezzails always makes me think of WRG1685-1845 rules. Never got to play them in a colonial setting. Your posts are making me want to scratch that itch.
Now that would be interesting to see...
DeleteJezails look great on the table and a change to paint and work with. I would like to see them in the George Gush rules games wise.
Nicely done, Alan. It's funny what can be done with a bit of converting.

Thanks, it is fun to do and see what can be done...
DeleteIngenious! You can cover any conversion gaps with tissue paper / kitchen roll and PVA to blend it into the robes, cloaks and clothing ...
ReplyDeleteThanks , it is a shame to have these sprue extras just hanging around.
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
