Hey all! I've finished up some of my favorite GZG guys so far. I'm still working on getting some nicer pictures (I even finished up the explorer vehicle from GZG)… but I had to share.. Please let me know what you think, thanks! Oh, the spacesuit guy with a bare head is from the GZG separate head range, I love swapping out the heads of my minis… I've done many conversions on the 'R avengers' I picked up too.. makes them look like mercenaries… picture Still working on the heavy EVA suits and more marines, and I have some Khurasan minis inbound too! |

Those look great. I didn't know about the head swapping option with GZG minis. Is it difficult? Luckyjoe |

Thanks for the kind comments all… For the headswaps, it takes a bit of practice, but it's pretty easy when you get the hang of it. I snip off the original head, file and sand it down until its flush with the shoulders, then I drill out a small hole. For the head they come on a long sprue, which I use to hold on to them while I clean them. Then I put a dab of super glue, cut off the excess sprue, and sit it right on. Heres a good tutorial: link Dan: I actually first painted up one of my guys that exact scheme… I'll have to see if I can find a picture… |
