Note I’m not a professional and these are just easy to do conversion using simple tools that I made back when no one was making literally any plastic new figures, paint was add after to cover the cuts, later better painted figures were done as I acquired more experience, but now no much time.

    Just for giggles, I did a count of my Alamo conversions, I currently have 94 done. I’ve been busy I guess.

    I’ve got 94 ready for OTSN and 3+ months to do more. Working on a two man conversion right now. A Texan about to bash in a head with a rock engaged in hand to hand on the ground, mostly anyway. Running low on parts again, but I see more on the way.

    I like the German mountain troops the best ,great eye to see the conversion possibilities of the Marx Eskimos, trappers !

    Some good ideas, there. I liked the AT gun and crew, but the Gebirgsjaeger are a close second for me.
