Hi folks,
A few years ago just before DML brought out their Commonwealth Infantry in Italy set, I had started to convert some Tamiya figures for use with my M3 Grant. As the DML set were similar to what I was planning I boxed the conversions and never got around to doing any of them. I finally decided to re-birth the DML set as Australians and continue with my original though for making some 8th Army troops from left over parts. A bit of work this week produced this chap. He still needs some dust and finishing touches.
I added some new straps and buckles to the back of the webbing, a new head, a long bayonet(Ultracast) and SMLE (Italeri)
Cheers
Al

Hey Alan, I like the way you think and come up with different posses, a man after my own thoughts, or should I say a man who knows what to do with left overs. The Aussie is looking good so far.
