Yesterday the old Testors U.S. Paratroopers set arrived in the mail. The sculpts are from 1979 and it really shows. besides some flat poses and some slightly off sculpting, I think I have made them serviceable. Using some Dragon weapons and ICM American equipment, I tried to give them an updated look.
Officer and Sergeant. The sergeant was such an awkward pose but I think with the BAR and pistol he looks a bit more natural.
Two SMG wielding paratroopers.
Finally two riflemen. The picture doesn't show it well but I think the folding stock carbines really make this squad scream "Airborne".
Some fine character figures!
ReplyDeleteThese look great! Reminds me that I have a pile of Conte US paratroopers needing some attention.
