Stan's Converts

Young Stan Walker has done a very clever thing. He's taken the heads off some Zvezda Greek archers and swapped them with some slingers, giving the converted slinger figure not only a new head/helmet, but also a peltist's shield and [bristle cut to length and end flattened/shaped] javelin. Hence turning some stone slinging Ps into javelin throwing Ax.

Way cool!

Since I took the digital photo above, he's been fiddling around with some more conversions this time involving some spare HaT Baeleric slingers that I had lying around. Again, very clever!

He sent me the following scans of his work and the little explaination bit below...

How?

1. Decapitate your 2 figures.



2. Use a pin/tack thing to make a starter hole in the neck & head.



3. Use pliers to push a staple into the hole in the neck.



4. Cut staple so about 2-3 mm sticking out.



5. Align and push the head onto the staple.

Why?

2 boxes of Zvezda Greeks give ample Hoplites, and Psiloi for DBA arnies, but not enough Aux. So until the Hat Greek Lights & Thracians arrive...

Anyway, I thought the archer with the helmet was a bit 'heavy' for a Ps.

Cheers,

Stan [The Younger]
