Found a moment to advance a bit more with the US Marines for the Pacific and finally got the Command squad finished and varnished, just need the bases flocking.
Also put together some support teams.
First off I gave this hard-plastic Hasegawa two-man sniper team new soft-plastic replacement rifles as I found from experience that the original styrene ones usually break off after handling (if you're lucky they'll last for about two, maybe three games).
Also put together some scouts and heavy weapons teams using mostly converted figures.
With the exception of the mortar figure conversion, the rest of the dark green figures in the second picture are Imex Korean War figures with replacement heads, the beige heads are Revell US Marines, the other green heads are off old Esci US infantry figures.
And these are all painted and varnished too. Just need flocking and they'll be ready to take on the Japanese.
These look great! Can you tell me what glue you use ?

Very good work, as usual your painting is spot on.
ReplyDeleteUfffff Masterpieces!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful conversions. I have set Marines I would like to post as well. How does one submit them?
ReplyDeleteThanks very much.
ReplyDelete@ Jim Stephens.
I generally use white glue / wood glue, but sometimes superglue if the figure refuses to stay upright while the glue is drying.
