Hi Dave

thanks for info the support group set is great and the spare parts glue easily with superglue fixed very well indeed.

I am going to try the shirt sleeve conversion to see if it works ok

I did about 20 conversions of British infantry for NWE based on Weston figures, but also using quite a few from Matchbox, as well as some Conte heads, arms, etc. I did these for GK5717 but I didn't photographs them before shipment, so he would have to be the one to post any photos. I also found that certain parts from the Airfix Multipose worked pretty well. I didn't have the Airfix infantry or Infantry Support Group to use for parts at the time, but I can see a few interesting possibilities there. The Weston figures are well sculpted and the plastic cuts easily. We could use some more basic poses for conversions. The only concern I had was that some of the helmets on the Weston troops seem a bit large (in diameter). Any other opinions?

I'll have to add some of these to my collection, they look very good. British were my 1st 1/32 Allied units I attempted some 9-10 years ago.Before the days of Conte Gi's. I used deetail, Matchbox,Airfix, Airfix multipose.Between all those and the multpose spare parts there was enough to go into a real modeling frenzy.
Now with a bag of Westons British, I think it's time for another round and another platoon.
Maybe we can talk him into an AFV for the British?

Hi - just finishing off a converted set of Steves new British - I have done a simple swap to the figures now wearing comforter hats as Royal Marine Commandos, Norway raids 1940.
