Being a modeller for quite a few years now, I decided to explore the endless possibilities that the world (through internet) offers, and come up with a series of ways of building, modelling and painting fast (but not hastily), to create the worlds I was seeing in history books since I was little. . .If you care to join me. . . This is the place to be! And, I promise you to find the way (or ways)!!

Pizza, figures and a modelling knife....[Italeri US Paratroopers (101st Screaming Eagles)]

Good day everyone!

As I told you in my previous post, some days ago I bought a kit of US Paratroopers from Italeri (ex Esci). I am very pleased with the quality of these figures, and for this reason these past few days I've been painting figs from this kit only (at least when sth else catches my eye... - you know how it goes...) :-)

For this post, I did a little bit of everything. I ate pizza (and kept the plastic round thing for the box protection), I made a small conversion (a fig's torso (carrying a bazooka) from Italeri's (ex Esci) American Infantry (#6046), placed on a paratroopers' rifleman lower end and, of course I painted some supporting weapons for my new force (a bazooka and a .30 calibre mg).



Now, I have to paint some mortars..... :-)

I hope you like 'em!

    That's a really, really nice conversion! And the MG team are also looking good.

    I love this set! Nice job on them.
    I still have a couple of them laying around at home. These were the first figures I ever honestly tried to paint, well about 14 years ago :)
    I'll revive them some day...

    Cheers,
    Mojo

    Excellent work as ever Thanos! I'm particularly impressed with the bazooka conversion. The pose looks really natural and convincing. Just a pity that Panzer already seems to have spotted him, wonder who fired first?
