The Del Prado model arrived yesterday morning. I was surprised to see how tall it is as I had expected it to be 54mm, but it is closer to 62/63mm (head to toe). The example I purchased via e-bay cost me £3.00, as you can see it was brand new and still in it's packaging, which was a good thing as the metal is quite soft, the rifle and particularly the bayonet are very easily bent.


I have added sideburns and a moustache as shown on the Victrix 28mm models featured in Wargames Illustrated. I think it gives the figure some character.

The model has been 'cooked' in the oven (to set the Milliput and Green Stuff) and undercoated, but this can wait until the next update.

Nice conversion work. I'm looking forward to seeing the final paintjob.
Cheers
