Spacemen

6/30/2017 Add Comment

 A completed spaceman.  The flamethrower is glued on upside down to disguise it's origin.  The wire is an antenna.


Spaceman finds human.


These 1/72nd scale cheap figures were very plain, making them good for conversions.


I plan to use them for 1950's style space adventures.


These figures will be painted soon.

Volksstrum Men

Pegasus, Fujimi and Airfix.  I have a lot of Pegasus guys in the spares box that needed arms attached, they will mostly end up as Volksstrum.


More Indiana Jones and another Fujimi, this time with a Prieser head.


Pegasus on a new base, Matchbox with a new head and arm and another Fujimi guy.


Middle figure is Strelets, Russian Cossack, now part of the German army!


Ykreol figure with British paratrooper Thompson, and on the other end an Airfix Civilian with a Bren gun.


More VS troops.


Airfix WWI British guy.  I needed his signal flags for my WWII German navy and so now he has a rifle and a pointing hand.

Rescue Me

1/08/2009 Add Comment

As part of my perpetual Berlin project, I have been putting together rescue teams. These guys are Airfix figures from some of their RAF related sets. They stretcher had a wounded guy on it but I cut him off an use it without that feature. They are wearing Atlantic Afrika Korps set helmets.





The view of the underside of the stretcher shows the wounded man is just a shadow of his former self. I trimmed him down enough that he does not show after I flipped the stretcher. I added larger bases to the stretcher bearers so they would stand up better.



These Dapol figures have had Afrika Korps helmets added to them and one has had his base enlarged. I don't base my figures so sometimes I make a larger base for them so they will stand up better.


This Hasagawa figure originally had a head with helmet on it but I swapped with an officers head. His high boots, riding breeches, binoculars and pointing hand make him look much more like an officer.



Here is an overview of some of these rescuse personnel in action at a destroyed building. Sometimes the enemy could be close as rescue operations proceeded and so you can see some armed guards at the right of the picture.
