I decided to put together a Section of British Commandos for Special operation scenarios. I didn't want to buy some, so once again I raided my odds and ends box and found 9 x Warlord games plastic, Late war British infantry figures that were sitting idle since 2016. They were set up with their kit, back packs, helmets etc., already primed Black, I had to remove their helmets, helmet straps, backpacks and shovel kit with a sharp hobby. Then proceed to transform them into Commandos.

Completed section painted and flock added to their bases. |
 |
Black primer applied ready for painting, after I completed this task I remembered I forgot to model one of the figures wielding a knife. |
 |
All the figures I had were standing poses, I converted these three into kneeling positions. For most of the figures I had to remove their arms and replace them with new ones, which were again modified with the help of a sharp hobby knife and Green stuff , I also used a product called Citadel Layer, Kabalite Green, its basically liquified Green stuff. The first figure is firing a Welrod silenced pistol, which has 6 rounds of ammo, I modelled it simply by cutting off the top portion of a pistol and replacing it with a long cylinder shape piece of plastic. |
 |
I used the Kabalite green to add to the straps and used twine to make rope, |
 |
The Commando on the left is using a silenced pistol called the Weirod |
 |
Gun straps on all the weapons where made from Green stuff putty, silencers have been added to the Sten guns by attaching a small piece of plastic. |
 |
I also made some rope with green stuff putty. |
 |
These two figures have back packs, I used Milliput to model them. I figured I could use these guys to carry explosives. |
Cheers John
As always, outstanding!
ReplyDeleteThanks Spyros, might see you at MOAB this year.

Those are great, but I was surprised that you used the kabalite green paint as a putty... it should not be that thick!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lasgunpacker for your comments, yes the kabalite green is great for sealing small areas, the trick is to build up a couple or so layers over the area .cheers John
DeleteNice work as usual John!
