Yesterday saw an enjoyable day spent modelling whilst listening to “The rest is history “ podcast which l am currently favouring for its insights and humour too.
I found this mangled Herald figure in my spares box. He came in a box with some figures ages ago. His head and upper body had been removed with a diagonal cut.
I decided he could be utilised in my current project, so with a head swap , putty to build up the body and number two figure he was based ready for action.
So far l had ignored the lmg figures. Yesterday l did a head swap and they are ready for painting.
Finally needed some bomber , grenade throwers, figures so used the kneeling mortar figure , removing the mortar and adding in a suitably toy soldier stick grenade in the form of a pin.
Figures are moving along nicely re basing and painting since these photos were taken.
Another mangled figure saved for the tabletop of posterity …
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, he will live to fight another day…

Saved from the melting pot of doom!
ReplyDeleteSaved indeed, but from the kitchen bin of doom in this case.

That is great to see but why are some of the troops directing their attention to lollipops? I look forward to the painted figures. great work! James of Quantrill's Toy Soldeirs
ReplyDeleteDon’t you recognise the M 21.5 grenade nicknamed “The Kaiser’s toffee apple “ due to its unusual shape? I think l have model rather well.😂
DeleteNice work Alan.
