Tomek22 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Here is a simple conversation of a Falklands War argentine infantryman. Base is an old 1:72 Airfix british paratrooper. I cliped of head and weapon and added a new US Style head with goggles and a SLR (both in metal). Self created webbing and bags to completed it./media/tinymce_upload/98c8be99f85b988d42a13560beb1811c.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/9ecd6dd4520a487da2654049afacf2d9.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/dd029203c34be913365906dd835b1f81.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/63df9c3261500627dd87348e32557256.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/bde4fb873215c30dbece66fa91482174.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/12f4b6c96a1f50160241a981ab7775b6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Astle Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 the attention to the FN is really good- i mean on that scale and yet it's clearly recognizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomek22 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hi, here is another figure conversation of an old Airfix figure. It is an old US-Marine (first version) into an Argentine Infantryman (Falklands War) using a walkie talkie, or radio. I changed head, left arm, weapon into SLR, right hand and added webbing and pouches. Retrospective I would say the webbing is not good and has to worked out better. Does anyone have a suggestion to make it better? Please let me know.I have made some more figure conversations of other manufacturers, but it is not permitted to show them on this site.In future I wish a set of plastic figures of this conflict. I know there are some manufacturers of metal figures and there are Revell/Matchbox NATO Paras, but I think one manufacturer could make this to opposite, too.Hope you like it?!/media/tinymce_upload/52310d4ec33ac1fa599d5b22ea66035f.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/7740aadb24bf1e9385ef40b49a665207.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/b7834904ca3f2757c7cf9e5a91c11988.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/420242910bcce8d89332134d8f4aee77.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/c7b1f1005084af860deeb76019d39068.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/089d2b49f2426b27e46498ab4841d230.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/656a5e087ead6d0316041197963cd3bf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
