British HMG

SO I had a Renegade early war HMG, but I wanted a late war one. Realizing that the only real difference was tin hats, I decided i could do a head swap.
Of course, the HMG gunners heads are a awkward angles as one is leaning to the gun sight and the other in laying on his side. SO I decided to just do a hat swap to avoid, the neck re-positioning work. Anyway, to cut a long story short; I cut two Brodie helemts of a couple of spare figures, and the caps of the HMG crew.


Here you can see the gunners, with their original caps and their new helmets.,


Here is the finished model: helmets stuck on, glued to a base (one of the green plastic ones which come with perry plastics), and sand added for texture.

First World War British

So here are the WW1 British  I mentioned in the last post way back in September.  It's almost a platoon, I just need to order two packs of bombers from great war miniatures, to complete it with a bomber and rifle bomber sections.




The Germans are glued to their pennies and await spray painting. But I'm currently working on the new hobbit set from GW.
