Thank you a lot!

Well, I aiten‘t dead yet, like Granny Weatherwax would possibly say, but it’s been a while since I made progress here. finally I got the figures converted the way I wanted:

The mechanic on the left and the pilot in the middle are CSM figures, which I changed a little. I wanted the mechanic wear a bonnet de police, so I changed his head for a hornet head and added a bonnet de police sculpted from Green Stuff. The Pilot checking his Revolver fits in my opinion perfectly next to an airplane marked „Risque tout“. I wanted him just before taking off, so I also replaced his head wearing an officers cap with a hornet head which I equipped with a leather flying helmet and goggles from Green Stuff. I didn’t want to give him a crash helmet (risque tout...), as especially fighter pilots seem to have left them off frequently. The figure on the right is a new one frim Kellerkind which normally holds a paintbrush in his hand. i changed that for a wrench cut from scrap plastic.
Now I only need the time and inspiration to paint them...
Best regards
Andreas
