Hi guys I was going to do Brunswickers next, but have decided to finish some Portuguese I started years ago, (I will show the line troops later) so I knocked these up last night, not to much of a conversion.
Grey parts are Perry Brits, brown parts Victrix Brits
1) removed loops from cuffs
2) replaced shako plate with putty hunting horn and bigger cockade
3) removed bayonet from musket
4) removed pack straps
5) added Victrix French sword/bayonet and bugle
6) then added putty patches and shoulder loops and banged them up a bit
Still need to added powder horns, and a sling on the officers musket.
All comments and ideas for improvement welcome.

Nicely done, glad you giving a blow by blow rendition to show us how you are doing them. |

I love to see conversion work like this. I simply cannot leave anything just as it cam in the box. I have this compulsion to try to adapt to something unique to me. This is really clever. |

Me too. The more mucking about, the better. Well done. |

Really nice work Dunbar. I'm like the other guys. I don't think I've built a model in the last 30 yrs. or so and left it like it was designed. I always change or replace something. Like deadhead said, I think I like to make things unique to me. |

yeah, I'm pretty much the same. |
