Metal to Plastic

I’m attempting to add a bit of variety to the army, as fair few of the Para Sculpts are the same pose. I’ve chosen to switch out some of the heads, and mix up the helmets and berets. In theory its a simple switch, cut out the existing head and file down the neck and headgear. Of course, I need a head to fill the gap, so after some rummaging I’ve gone for some great, characterful French Napoleonic heads from Perry.

These heads are a great match in terms of scale, and come with some rather spiffing tashes suitable for any Brit. Plastic is a lot easier to work with than metal, so its even easier to trim down these heads to get them to fit in well. See the above pics for the end result, and a few on the go. Now they just need a bit of green stuff to blend it all back in.
