Arms get some big puffy sleeves and Frenchys 'whatever kind of rifle it is' gets shortened, reshaped, rebarrelled and redone as an 1892 pattern Winchester.

The 95th Rifleman lower half was ok to use as is, apart from cutting and sanding off the bottom of the gaiters, deepening and reshaping the heels....and some "butt-joining" :ha: The torso has a sort of sheepskin waistcoat of shaped filler added and the truncated head gets the top of the head added with emphasis on getting a smooth transition from the kits lower head to the filler top of head, especially the forehead. From experince I've learned that it is best to get the basic head shape formed before adding the hair.

Oh blinking flip, sugar, fizz and gosh drat! :evil: I've just noticed that the photo that I'm using for the clothing of the second (but main) figure has been reversed! Normally that would not be an issue unless it was a uniform with insignia, but it will spoil the whole thing for me unless I rectumfy ( a corrective action that is a pain in the ar5e to do ) it!

The guy on the left looks like Michael Keaton's character in Betelguese to me!

Just a base to make and some minor detailing, Skipper. I'm going to make this base and one for my other current build at the same time within the next couple of days.

I think I may know who these two hombres are, but I will wait and see if I am right. Been a long time since I saw the movie.

It'll cost you more than a handful of dollars now to buy it on DVD, or for a few dollars more get it on Blue Ray.

I was on the last furlong of this when I got a mission to provide 10 illustrations (including a colour cover) for a short story on a subject very close to my heart (sworn to secrecy but it's not Spitfires!)
If I can get until tonight, I'd like to get this done.
