Our very good friend Greg Liska has sent us more photos and information on his DGN Artillerymen conversions. I let Greg explain his newest conversions.
Having gotten a bunch of the new AWI guys, I was left with an excess of flag bearers, drummers and officers. I turned them into artillerymen. They need some touching up, but here’s what was done: Officer just lost his pistol (I need to trim it out better), flag bearer got a ram rod, drummer got a satchel. Too much glare in the pic to see, but the satchel is the cartridge pouch from the MPC ring hand accessories. I think it looks like the fuse pouch for a siege mortar.
Sweet! Please keep the pix coming Greg. Makes me want to go out and buy some now.
WOW!!.
Greg I need then back!!.Just kidding!!!
Where can you buy these sets?
Amazon has them. They are just about 54mm. They fit in with my Marx guys very well.
Thanks for the words of encouragement, guys. I just cannot ‘waste’ a figure and there were no artillerymen in the set, but cannons that fix up nicely with just a little effort. Now that I think about it, few things make it into my collection without some altering.
I guess that’s what you call turning a pig into a silk purse. Good job.
