Figure Conversion
Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2006 1:03 am
Barry;
In your Gret Northern War gallery you have a photo titled "Swedish Bayonets 1709." You note that the pikeman is a conversion using a head swap; however, the figure looks like it might have had a breastplate originally. Would you care to dispense a little conversion advice; i.e., did you use putty to smooth the line between armor and coat, did you simply file everything or did you use a combination of techniques? Also. how did you mold the buttons?
Thanks.
