Good day everyone!
It's been a while since my last post, but due to work reasons I didn't have much time to play with my toys! That didn't prevent me from thinking though (sth that surely is very uncommon for me)!
That's why I decided to make a simple conversion, in order to make some medics for my US troops! I was inspired by Mork's blog (a great blog by the way, you must surely visit it), who used some figures of German common infantrymen to make them medics.
For my ETO US force, I decided to use a figure from Italeri's #6120 set - ''American Infantry'', the ''Bazooka man''!!!
The conversion that I did to him, was simply cutting his weapon from his hand, and by doing that, what was left was a figure giving his hand (or some morphine) to a fellow wounded infantry man.It's been a while since my last post, but due to work reasons I didn't have much time to play with my toys!

I hope you like them!

Those guys look really good as a conversion, plus your paintjob is excellent.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea and very nice painting! These are the best of your minis! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNice conversion.
ReplyDeleteNice...just out of interest, what wash do you use on your figs? Love 'em!
ReplyDeleteWow T, when you get around to thinking you pull out all the stops ;-) these are great. Add a few Pegasus D-Day Ranger medics helping the fallen and you will have a super medic team.

Nice job, Thanos
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind words.
ReplyDelete@Monty: I use an acrylic Wood varnish that I bought from my local crafts store. It was very cheap (11.90 euro / 750 ml) It is called Aquaxyl and it is manufactured here in Greece. I think that there might be good equivalents also, in your location.
