15mm Sci-fi Infantry Out of WW2 Germans - Part 2

The conversions are pretty much done. I tossed around the idea of adding power cords to the models but that just seemed overly fiddly and unnecessary. The putty work for the camo cloaks and trying to maintain some uniformity on the blobs of putty that will serve as their HUD visors took enough out of me.



The bits of plastic rod are to represent a battle computer scope that can interface with the helmet's optics and systems.



When I paint the visors, they will be solid-looking and without any obvious lenses. I got this idea from the Ghost in The Shell comics and animation where they use sophisticated pinhole optics to allow battle helmets to be armored on the front as well as the sides and back. The helmet also takes care of audio dampening and filtering. Of course this is all thematic PSB for the way I converted them.



I think they are simple, yet effective conversions and should look good as ragged but decently equipped mercenaries. I have managed to convert enough of them for one or two platoons, though I still need to figure out what to do for support weapons. I am thinking of simply converting some panzerfaust troopers and/or MG gunners.

Anyhow, hope you like them and thanks for reading,
