This is my first conversion. It is easy but enough for me at this time. I am adding some changes in the uniform in order to convert a Hecker&Goros french napoleonic geographer into a Royal Spanish Engineer. The conversion was made mainly in the collar and jacket

Hey, that is pretty cool, Rafa.

This is the type of conversions I am interested in trying myself, so more posts as you progress would be appreciated.

Nice one!

Nice conversion, Rafa! Could you show us an illustration of the uniform?

All the best,

Rafa, Nothing wrong with startingoff with a simple conversion. The only comment I have regards the buttons. They look "pressed" into the putty. There are a few other techniques that you could use to make your buttons look like they are sitting on top of the garment rather than sunk into it.~Gary

Rafa it looks very good. You modeled jacket and buttons very well for your first time.

Thank you to everybody. I am trying to get something like the image attached.

Gary, You are in true. Perhaps I must try another trick for getting the buttons. Perhaps I have time in order to correct it. I´ll try to get some buttons for putting them on the correct place.

Thanks again,

Rafa

new buttons

Hi all. As Gary advice me I tried to do the buttons again. I note the old buttons are very usefull for placing the new buttons. These are the results:

Looks great Rafael.
How did you do the buttons now???
Marc

very easy Marc. I used the cap of a bottle of wine and make the buttons pressing with a retractable pen. Then I use cianocrylato in order to fix each button in its correct place.
