Looking for conversion bitz

by coleslaw » May 4th, 2016, 1:46 pm

Hi, I'm looking for sources for conversion bitz in the right scale for my USAriadna forces.

[*]Bonnie heads, male and female. I need 4 male and 2 female. And this is in addition to 5 regular foxtrots in my force, it's not a feasible choice to buy 6 more foxtrots just for their heads...
[*]NVG - some version of the ones the Minuteman has on the helmet. Is there somewhere to buy something equivalent, or should I make green stuff molds :-(
[*]Extra sights on rifles to show MSV lvl 1 - maybe bolter sights, maybe something else. Thinking bolter sights might be to large?

Any ideas?

Also looking for easy ideas for good looking ghillie suits for my foxtrots...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Rationale: I don't really like the Marauder and Minuteman minis but love the Grunts. And Grunts and Minuteman are equal in armor, Marauders have even lighter armor (no shock-resistance) but are tougher in them selves (dogged).

The main idea is to use Grunts:

1/ with some modified helmets (including added NVG's and tacticool airholes http://www.airsoftgi.com/images/airsoft-lt-ca-725n-c.jpg ) and maybe some added exo-skeleton on their legs as Minuteman. 

2/ with boonies (like the Foxtrots) instead of helmets as Marauders (to show their jungle terrain, stealth and lower armor)



I'm primarily not planning to use Grunts at all, but if I do I want the heads (being the most visible part of the models) to be distinct. Might also use a different color scheme to distinguish Grunts and the other "grunts" from the more elite parts of the list. So elite in woodland or multicam and grunts in UCP :-).

Just to clarify, you mean Bonnie heads, as in heads with boonie hats, correct?

Mentioned this on your thread on the Official Forum, but try Empress Miniatures USMC for boonie hats.

Pig Iron is back. No idea if good size match, legs and arms clearly not same style, but http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/hd2 ... -p-86.html and http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/eq3 ... -p-64.html maybe, check the rest of head sprues and equipment.
