Bob's Going 'Nuts'
Kelly's Heoes the other guys.
I did the 1st sprue I did as pretty much standard GI’s but as I built the 2nd sprue, I decided to theme on the lesser known Charaters from the film. I wanted a more dynamic , LMG firing version of Crapgame so using the wolly hat helmet version head and using a spare 30 cal from the U.S. Paratroopers sprue. Willand (played by Harry Dean Stanton in movie is again a conversion, using any bits of belt ammo I had on various Sprues.
One of the lesser characters who did have a fair amount of speaking parts was Cowboy , did wonder how to portray him, and decided ‘Cowboy’ would be firing a pistol. The sniper Watowski, was basically the use of the Springfield Rifle arm on the sprue with a bit of tube stuck on it for scope. Private Jonesy who drops the big bag og grenades and explosives in German HQ is represented by a figure throwing a Grenade.
And here the whole squad.
