I was messing around to today going through some figure parts bins and found some pieces to try a Russian cuirassier. The legs are from a Timpo Pruusian the head and arms are from an Italeri dragoon. The body is I believe from Helmet??? and the cartridge box is from an Italeri hussar. The rest is all green putty.

Oh Fish! This sculpt and conversion looks promising. The cloth drapery look great.

 

[Anth]

the figures do look great...but I'm loving those explosions...they are nice...

I agree and the coat are good. I know how hard it is to try and get them even close to as good as the ones you have done. top stuff{sm4}

I really like the scratchbuilt Russian cavalryman - if manufacturers wont or cant make it then this is the answer for any figure

A few more napoleonic conversions. These are Hat and A.I.P. figures converted into Prussian Lutzow Freikorps. The base figures are landwher and French in greatcoats.

Here are some Hat french Elites converted into regular line troops. I removed the shoulder epaulettes and gave them new Blackcat heads with 2 part putty covered shakos.

These are some Hat Prussian bodies with some A.I.P. landwher heads to make some Prussian reserve troops.

I got around today to getting some paint on that Russian cuirassier and also found some Italeri horses that I had converted ages ago but never did anything with them. So I threw a quick coat of paint on them, I still need to do some highlighting on them.
Now I need to convert some wounded riders for them, maybe a couple of guys getting thrown off horses??? I did this dismounted Prussian hussar to stand behind the dead and wounded horses now I just need to chop up a few more.

Great works as always!

Fish,

Are using a flash or a spotlight?

Just the flash on the camera. I get a lot or blurry pictures so I just take a whole bunch of pictures and sort through them to find the better of the bunch to post.

Well, you picked some good ones. I've been using the macro plus a small spot along with the room's over head florescent light. My flash washes out the subjects.

Scott try backing up with the camera and then zooming in, I find my camara gets a better focused picture from a bit more distance then it dose up close and that might help with the flash also. My camera dosen,t have this marcro setting I always hear you guys talk about.

Just keep shooting a bunch of pics at different angles and see what works, if you shoot 100 pics one is bound to turn out OK????:rolleyes2: :tongue:

I,m working on converting a few more cossacks! I,m trying out some different styles of cossack hats using different plastic heads with 2 part putty for the hats and beards I also did a guy getting dragged by his horse.
