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)!!

British 2-Inch Mortar

Good afternoon everyone!

Hope you are all well.
This last weekend, I painted some British soldiers, including a 2-Inch mortar team, by using two spare figures I had from different sets.

The first figure comes from Italeri (Set 6131 - Anti Tank Teams). It is a British Paratrooper preparing his mortar to fire. I chopped off his helmet, and added a Mk III helmet I had available (spare parts).


The second figure was from Hat (Set 8227 - British Mortars). Although this Tommy is holding a 2 Inch mortar as well, I chopped his off, and I placed him next to the converted mortar firer as a loader.


I painted them, glued them on my famous pizza stands, and I added the necessary greenery around them.






I hope you like them!

Have a good Wednesday night everyone.

T.

  2. Nice Little stand. Maybe a rifle for the one laying down?

  3. Excellent result Thanos! You could have used the lying Airfix British Infantry soldier instead of the one you have used. He's armed with a light machine gun.

  5. Another excellent piece of work! I have used both of these figures as they are, and wouldn't have thought of this.
