Modification were required to transform these Victrix Germanic figures into slingers. Back in 2023 I put together some Baleanic Victrix miniature slingers. (https://iagsmgm.blogspot.com/2023/04/early-imperial-roman-auxiliary-archers.html) These are sold in a pack with 12 figures, I used the spare slings to equipped the Germans.
I first cut off the right hand off all the Germanic figure and in one case both hands, I then cut the right arm off the Germanic figure and carved it, to refit into a new position. Next step was to glue the hands with the sling from the Baleanic figures onto the Germanic arms, once dry, I added Green stuff to fill in any gaps.
After priming them with black primer, I noticed I had forgotten to model carry bags for their stones which I accomplished with Green stuff putty.
