"Frag Out!" figure
Well, after I had gotten off the computer on the evening of 14 April, I grabbed the figure kits I am using for the figure conversion and took a quick photo for my initial photo. It looked OK through the view finder of my digital camera, but when I took a break from the workbench to download them a few minutes ago, it isn't that great, but y'all get the idea.
Basically, I am using parts from these two Bravo 6 figure kits, arms from a third, and a Hornet Head to create the conversion.
Here is my initial picture with start date.
And here are some photos of the start of the conversion over the past two days. Early Saturday morning, I took the torso of the guy with the shotgun from B6-35050 and the legs of the kneeling guy from B6-35043 and cut them from their original figures, then joined them together. Until I found the "war Face" head that I wanted to use, I placed a temporary head onto the figure in order to continue with posing. I added a canteen to the Sodlier's belt, a claymore bag and it's strap, and then the lightweight rucksack frame. I used the arms from the Bravo 6 kit of a Marine throwing a grenade.
By the afternoon, I found the head from the Hornet "Warface" head set, added it, then once dry, washed the figure with soap and water, drilled holes in the feet to place rods that mounted it to the cap of a pill bottle, and then sprayed the primer coat. This morning, I started by painting the face in acrylics, then painted the base colors of the uniform. If you look closely at his left index finger, there is the pin to the grenade.
