Ze germans are coming
For some reason I have got it in to my head it is time to do some conversions for FOW infantry. Partly because I picked up a box of Fallschirmjager as part of a deal in Gamers World in Dublin about the same time I saw sixtwentyeight's Forged in Battle Fallschirmjaeger conversions for his Ardennes
offensive.
Quality is not one of Battlefronts strong points there was a lot of flash and some miscasts in the boxset. That say concept of the sculpts and the detail when it was there was impressive. I get the impression the FOW scupltor (Evan?) was reading the Lions of Carentan when he did the work. The Fallschirmjager neck scarf is there along with their signature FG42 firearm.
.
I tried two main types of conversion
(1) The Swap:
-Heads: cut the heads of models A and B and switch them. Or cut the head of model A and reposition it
The head swap
-The Arm/weapon swap: Cut the Arms of model A and B and switch.
The arm swap
(2) The Green stuff greatcoats:
-Make thin roll of mix green stuff wrap it round the lower portion of the model and use sculpting tools to force it in shape.
Great coats
