Great job Dave! I have a few of these guys on the chopping block right now. I,m going to turn them into Prussian Freikcorp troops in black with heads from the Prussian infantry set and back packs from the landwher set.
I was going to use the hat Prussian landwher bodies with the Hat Prussian infantry heads but the Hat landwher figures are way to small for the heads from the line infantry heads??? They are closer to 1/35 and the conversion just looks to funny with the difference in size! TOO bad because you could have taken the the heads from the lanwher figures and then put them onto the line troops and just switched the heads back and forth between the 2 and made Prussian reserve figures with the landwher heads on the line infantry bodies.
I used the left over Prussian line troop bodies with heads from A.I.P. landwher heads and made some Prussian reserve troops and used some of the A.I.P. bodies with Hat heads also as Freikcorp troopers so it worked out in the end. Too bad those Hat landwher figures were not made as large as the Hat Prussian Line troops???
I,ll try and post some pics of them in the rough stages so you can see what i,m talking about, I,m pretty sure you are confused about what I,m talking about?
I also removed the shoulder fringe detail(epaletes???)From a few of the greatcoat figures and made some regular french line troops and added new heads with 2 part putty shako covers. There all still in the rough stages and I have not been in the mood to go any further with them right now, spring has come and with the nice weather I,d rather be out fishing or something outdoors with my free time.
