WW1 Gasmask Trench Raiders
I posed my converted figure with some Britains WW1 figures. I see now that I already had a gasmask officer, quaintly wielding a sword which no longer exists. I'll make him a new one eventually. The Britains figures were painted in two color schemes, the greenish khaki shown here and one closer to the one I used on my conversion.
Regarding my conversion I decided to add a putty skull and ground work suggesting mud and glossed it plus added a couple of blue and brown glazes. I wanted to suggest that one foot was disappearing into mud.
The plastic eye sockets I removed as they were too prominent but they left indentations that suggested the same thing. I repainted one of the eyes. Then I filled the eye area with gloss varnish to suggest glass.
The stick grenade was, I think, more of a German weapon, but I preferred to give the British officer one anyway.
