This post is bit late to celebrate the actual day, but I painted a couple of French figures on Sunday that I thought came out particularly well. I've experimented with using Italeri figures from set 6092 with heads from HaT set 8095.
I have a love/hate relationship with Italeri; their production values are very high, and I love the hard plastic of the figures. What I hate is the stupid poses they sculpt, and the niggling historical inaccuracies. Also, this sculptor has a thing about necks and chins; none of the figures feature either body-part. The bicornes sculpted on the originals also look like they're likely to take off in a stiff breeze they're so huge!
Anyway, below are the two command figures from the Italeri set sporting the heads from HaT. I reckon they're a pretty good combo!
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I thought you were celebrating by beheading nobles
ReplyDeleteSplendid, although I thought all the chinless wonders were dispatched by Madame Guillotine!
ReplyDeleteVery nice results there Mr Rosbif!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent figures Rosbif,
ReplyDeleteI see you have changed your painting style a bit?
Great head swaps!
I agree, good Bastille Day choices. Nice conversions.
ReplyDeleteVive La France
ReplyDeletePython... superb!
ReplyDeleteLovely conversions and painting too Ben!!
Totally agree about the lack of necks and chins on the Italeri figures- giving them head swaps is a great solution.
ReplyDeleteGreat work !
