There are also some Hasegawa hard-plastic clones and even the old Esci hard plastic version of the famous Airfix left-handed pistol-toting officer has put in an appearance ! What a damn pity Airfix never scaled this guy down.
The standing firing figures had more carbines than necessary, so I've had to replace these with M-1 Garands - taken mostly off old soft-plastic Esci US infantry figures, plus I added a few BARs, a radio guy, and a flamethrower.
These photos were taken a couple of weeks ago, the figures are now 50% started/finished so I hope to get some pictures of the final results on the site soon.
Love your conversions. Lots of inspiration here.

Hey DG,
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for the comment mate - you're gonna make me blush :-)
Really pleased to see your blog going strong too.
That's great figures!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask from which set have You borrowed BARs?
@ Umpapa
ReplyDeleteThanks very much.
The BARs are really BRENs taken from the Imex Korean War set. I cut off the magazine on the top and made a new one underneath the Bren to make it look like it a BAR.
Nice! May I ask where you got the flamethrowers?
ReplyDelete@ Jack
ReplyDeleteThe flamethrower is from the IMEX korean war set.
Thank you very much! I must buy that set at some point... Excellent work, by the way!
ReplyDeleteNice work :)
