Here is soldier no. 2 in standing and kneeling positions. As Boggler pointed out the re-issued Multipose boxes only have six figures, and of that only one is kneeling and one is prone, so this requires a bit of surgery to get a second kneeling and prone figure out of the box.
Luckily, I picked up some twelve figure sets released a way back by Airfix off eBay, so I should have enough figures for the half-section, I may also look at the legs in the Afrika Korps sets as I have quite a few of them and should have enough spare.
The keeling figure here is posed just pushing himself up, I think it looks ok. Now I need to add rifle straps, other equipment and work on the prone figures.
Nice conversion work
ReplyDeleteGood work well done.
ReplyDeleteNow that's ingenious!
ReplyDeleteGood idea...I'll have to try this too. :O)

They sell the kits on Brittany Ferries believe it or not!
I'm off to France in the Summer so could get one for you if you like?
I think they're about a tenner?
It would make a good feature for a scenario i.e. rescue the tank crew, clear the mines etc.
I'm pretty certain I have a (very) old 1/32nd Airfix M3 Lee somewhere. However if I can't find it I will be back! :-)
DeleteSteve,

Might be handy for conversions, especially the slouch hats??
Now £33 lighter in the pocket! Thanks for the heads up! :-)
