Airfix 54mm conversions

A couple of cheap figure conversions using parts from the Airfix English Civil War gift set:

And another.

Sorry about the pics, these are all over life size so a bit grainy and not as sharp as they could be!

Dave, very nice conversions, I also like those old Airfix and Historex figures.

Thanks guys,

I still have two mounted figures to do from the set. Conversions are so easy in plastic that I haven't decided what to make them as yet! One thing - at about £4 a figure it doesn't matter so much if they go wrong.
These Airfix (and Historex) pieces were my introduction to figures many many years ago, so it's good to 'go back to basics' sometimes.

Yes Dave I agree!!!
I love that works to clean my minde...
as a too fantastic TIMEMACHINE!!!!!
to my early steps on figures.

ciao Stefano

Interesting!

I picked up the same kit on Ebay a few weeks ago with some inexpensive conversion fun in mind as well!

If you don't mind, please post your mounted figures as you figure out what you want with them, I'm curious!

I am bidding on the Airfix Scots Grey on galloping horse with an eye to using that mount.

Have fun,

Kevin D.

Dave, Airfix kits are still a nice foundation for conversions. Definitely easier than converting a metal figure.~Gary
