Thanks for all the encouragement and advice.
Finished this afternoon. Got the stripes painted
in acrylics in the end.
Any comments welcome.

Excellent! Glad you persevered, it is well worth the effort you put into it.

Razor, Great job on the conversion! I liked the way you staged it as well. Reminds me of a picture from the ACW of a young boy who served as a powder monkey during ACW. Figures like this show a lot of character and interest! Well Done all around! Thanks for sharing!

Nice one, I bet you are pleased with the out come. A well thought out conversion.

This looks great. Nicely thought out scene, simple and effective.
