Japanese Type 92 70mm Infantry gun - part 1

Pausing FIW projects for the moment by resuming  painting   my Japanese Platoon and finishing off this scratch build of a  Japanese 70mm Type 92 Infantry gun with crew. 

The plastic 28mm figures are from Warlord games and have undergone  some conversions to adjust their poses to suit, as gun crew.

Assembling the gun with odd bits and pieces and its based on a thin metal sheet.

As with my Japanese Anti tank gun crew I have placed magnets under 2 of the figures for them to be removed as casualties.

FRONTIERSMEN - Coureurs de Bois 28mm

I managed to utilise some leftover miniatures, 4 figures from my Warlord games French Marines and 2 Rangers from my BrigadeGames Kickstarter  to create these Frontiersmen, also known as Coureurs de Bois. 

Apart from painting them in different colours, I modelled  beards to all the figures  with Green Stuff putty and with the help of a pair of pliers reshaped some of the hats. 

These figures are from Warlord games 
These two figures are from the BrigadeGames Kickstarter.
