Our hobbyfriend Ralf Guntermann sent me some photos of his collection. Here a few great conversions from the "good old times",when we had to create conversions ourselves.
Today with 3d-technic you can nearly have everything which is good on one side, but I remember the evenings when we sat down with a knife, "killed" some figures and created new ones. OK, I never tried the Airfix magazine idea of Chinese cavalry, made with a lot of paper etc.:-)
My favourites of his photos first - Louisiana Tigers
Upper body - ACW figures
Baggy trousers - Esci muslim warriors
Gaiters - Esci Austrian infantry
the rest - simply Milliput:-)
