One bod...6 Jobs

The Airfix Robin Hood set...I love it...there seems to be a mass of things to get out of it. A head swop here, a weapon swop there...and bingo..peasant becomes footsoldier.
The basic pose..
Stick swop, and now he´s the old boy of the villiage
Stick swop, twist of the neck and an arm added, now he´s capn Hornblower
Stick swop, head swop (Redbox Hussite artillery) and now he´s king of the slingers
Head swop (Revel english knights)bit of greenstuff and now he´s a guncrew member
The last reincarnation. Hand swop, head swop, sheath and shield added..
Hello to Matt from In The Grand Manner blog, in the main newline design napoleonics and a few little gems like this one Peter of Dreux.

  4. This was my favourite box of figs (well - after Sheriff of Nottingham!) - that Airfix did when I was small.

    You have given it a new lease of life, clever chap!

  6. Paul, I remember when AIRFIX Robin Hood and the Sheriff sets were used to make Lord Of The Rings armies waaaay before fantasy metal figures took off.

  11. Wonderful - I remember doing a conversion of the Sheriff archer to be a Cretan archer.

    But these conversions are great.
