Thanks for the input guys! Glad you liked them!Big Smile

The torso of resistance fighter comes from a figure in Dragons "Battle of Bastogne" kit, both arms were replaced and the head is a civilian resin head by some unknown chinese manufacturer. The Sten gun magazine bandoleer was made out of MP 40 ammo pouches, that were cut up and glued to metal foil. The straps and belt were also made out of thin foil.

The tanker comes basically from the Dragon "US tanker" kit, with new arms and a resin head.

The sturmpionieer is basically the ICM "German assult troop 1917-18". Most of the work went into the body and helmet armor, which was made out of metal foil. When it comes to the foil, I normally use metal foil taken from food packaging metal tubes. It is a bit thicker than the foil sold as hobby material, but it is quite easy to work with and - if neccesary - make thinner using sand paper. The MP 18 taken from the Dragons old "German weapons" kit, and the drum magazine was built using a Russian machine gun Ppsh 41 drum magazine.

Since I've gotten myself a new digital camera I'll take some pictures of the pre-painted figures next time. It's much easier to show the conversions than to try to explain them in words.

I really like the Norweigian resistance fighter and the German WW1 Sturmpioneer with armor and Bergman MP18


How much mod did you do to these figures?

Are they resin kit figs?

How did you make the armor for the German figure?

Messing around with some figures, trying to improve the conversion and painting skills after a couple of years away from the hobby. Thought I would post a couple of pics.
