Here are a couple of pictures of the loader I made for my recently completed mortar platoons
SLR removed
One arm removed the other separated from body
Head twisted to new angle
Yet to find a glue better than this for converting figures in this scale
Attached
The arm here is from the pointing gun-layer in the Airfix 6lbs set, but any arm will do, it doesn't have to be pointing
Arms holding mortar bombs are from Matchbox figures, but, again, any arm will do
Used the ACTA GPMG gunner for the loader on this one.
Just for me old mate Paul; Soviets arrived this morning :)
Cheers mate, I cut up that very same pose yesterday in order to bodge a gunner.
ReplyDeleteI hope the men were all in good order.
Good conversion.
ReplyDeleteOur of interest, are these new Revell re-releases in a stiffer plastic than the old Matchbox originals ?
Cheers,
John
Yes, ever so slightly more, but not as hard as the newer Italeri types. The flash is worse than the orginals, which is a little hard to fathom from Revell.
DeleteThnx Paul !
DeleteLol, yeah, what Paul said :)
ReplyDeleteWell you were so slow in answering!
DeleteNice conversion. Always good to have some mortars in support.
ReplyDeleteYou have an eye for a pose Al :)
