Home Cast Conversions

While still not working on any one project, I have been puttering around with several different ideas, hoping one will jumpstart a project. I bought some new toy soldier molds and started a casting session; however it not very successful and ended it sooner than planned. I did cast a few Prince August Brave Toy Soldier figures. I decided to try to convert them into 1800's militia figures, using "Green Stuff". Below are a few of the conversions.
Original figure with conversions next to it. Militiaman loosely based on the 7th NY,  officer for the militia, and militiaman with bearskin.

      It's a nice basic figure with little detail. It only took a few minutes work to get to this point.

    Nicely done. I've often thought about that mould. How tall are the figures?

      Thank you. The figure stands 40mm tall. It just might fit well with your War of 1812 figures.
