French Colonial Guns
Two scratched up additions to my colonial French gun park
I found i needed an additional AA gun to create a 2-gun battery for my Vichy forces, luckily I had a EWM gun crew in the spares box, so head-swapped them and painted them up to match my other Vichy colons. The twin 13.7mm AA is also EWM, but this do double duty with its original 1940 era crew
37mm trench/infantry gun with a Moroccan crew
The gun is a real Frankenstein creation, the seated Moor was a Force20 Hotchkiss gunner, the other guy is an EWM French gunner with a Raventhorpe head
Nice- a headswap can really do wonders to change the look of a figure.

I have dozens if not 100s in my collections :)
DeleteVery nice. Will need to do the same AA gun to my French force.
ReplyDeleteVery kind - EWM now do a colonial AA gun crew in shorts and sun helmet, I quickly just head-swapped what i had to hand :)
DeleteMore good work. Do you pin and glue your head swops or just glue? And if so what with!? CarlL
ReplyDeleteJust superglue, though the gel type is better than the liquid IMHO. I have tried 2-part apoxy, but it didn`t harden quick enough :( I do have some 2-part metal filler, which i have yet to try - that can act like a liquid weld so should be tough enough?
