Can anyone recommend the best type of glue to use for plastic 54mm conversion work. There are several on the market but I am unsure as to which would be most suitable. (I have heard good things about 'plasti-zap' and/or plastic cement ?) I will mainly be working with both vintage and new...

great stuff ! :)

They look great - especially the zeltbahn figures. :)

These plastic men at arms/knights are from Accurate - 1/32 scale and could pass for that time period. Italeri also do a nice selection of plastic knights 1/32 but these may be a little early in time to pass for Bosworth ?

Hand painted Conte US Paras 54mm (plastic)

Thanks, not 100 % sure as I did these a couple of years ago but I am fairly confident it would have been 'Flat red', as that is what I still have in the painting box.

Here come the French . . .

Some vintage Airfix Napoleonics 54mm. Hand Painted using Vallejo paints.

vintage Airfix US Cavalry 54mm, hand painted.

yes the 'Train' is very good - i'd probably pick 'Bataan' : typically chirpy and wholesome before turning suprisingly violent for an old film.

Recently picked up these figures on ebay, ACTA english civil war troops 54mm. Not my usual period of interest but they have painted up quite well.

this is the current Indian range - http://www.barzso.com/figures-accessories/Indians.html Other older figures are available but pretty scarce and collectable these days.

yes, I know exactly what you mean, some of the re issued CTS does look nearer 1/30 - 1/35 scale. The US halftrack came with tiny figures so I took a bit of artistic license when replacing them. The BMC range is not too bad - I have just included a couple of quick shots showing the 'King Tiger'...

Thanks, I am not entirely sure if the colours are exactly right for the period, I am in no way expert on such matters and am constantly learning. I suppose I have been influenced by the westerns and images I grew up seeing - i know (or at least heard) that the yellow Kneckerchief was a hollywood...

some of my hand painted TSSD Cavalry troops plus a set of Paragon Cavalry troops 54mm.

some of my hand painted TSSD plains Indians plus a set of Paragon Apaches 54mm.

This is the 54mm American half track also produced by CTS (Hand painted/figures have been added). This goes well with the Hanomags.

These are just some amazing figures and the pictures are great, forgive my ignorance but who makes these figures, how old are they and what sort of prices do they fetch.

a few of the excellant Indian warriors from Barzso. All hand painted 54mm.

yes, they did quite a range in the 70's including tanks (mainly british), SPG's, scout cars and even a truck. The go for quite high prices on ebay (boxed) but there are still a few in circulation.
