discussion Converting Figures

[Lee W]

Hey lovely people,

I want to convert some figures to modern British tankers, just wondering which figures would be the easiest? I've got a couple to one side that I might use but who would you guys use?

Lee, Miniart do a set of 5 British tankers, the kit number is 35078. I think they're WW2, but they might be a base for conversion.

Also Verlinden do a couple of figures in Noddy suits - you could find them on the Historex website maybe?

Hi Lee,

sorry not much help with modern guys,

but as Patrick said you maybe able to alter some ww2 guys to look the part,

there is some good ones in mini art and also Master Box, or even Dragon may have some,

use the base of a ww2 guy and just add modern gear and weapons

hope its a little help, so sorry

You could try these as a base to work from. Try these

British tank crew

That's all I could find.

Hope it helps

Hi Lee Dragon do a modern US tank crew, they might work, you can also get modern IDF tank crews, again these may work for what you have in mind, also blast models and I think Alpine do a modern British tank crew set, so maybe resin might be the answer.

You could also hope that some folk on here have the Tamiya Challenger kit and are not intending to use the figures
