Hello all, I'm sure many of you know this classic Poste Militaire bust. The kit was missing the hat and feather, braids, pipe and earrings, so it was converted out of necessity! I sculpted the top of the head and hair with A+B putty and also the otter fur braid wraps. The hole in the mouth where the pipe goes was also filled in and the lip built up slightly. This is my first conversion - hope you like it!

p.s. I've noticed the stripes on the blanket look a bit uneven in the photos - I think that's partly the angle of the photos.. I may alter them slightly if needs be.

Very nice work

Ken

Well done! I can't tell that it was not cast this way!

Thanks a lot guys! Here is a pic of the original in case anyone hasn't seen it:

I think it's great. Well done.

Darn fine Edward!

Gives a whole new authentic look to Charlie which I wouldn't have imagined was possible with a classic like this.

I LIKE IT!!!

Hi Edward,

Brilliant conversion. Very pleasing on the eyes and I would not change a thing about the blanket stripes.

Dave-

rather nice altogether especially the red shirt, but it's all good.
