Armies In Plastic Conversions.
Late Victorian/Early Edwardian Heroes! These were made from Armies In Plastic figures, mostly Boers and Boer War era figures. A few fictional heroes as well. (Sorry...paint brush text doesn't have Spell Check)
J.P. Thank you. I actually don't war game. The various characters ARE based on Sir Alan Quartermain and friends and the cast of SHE. Some Sir Arthur Conan Doyle characters as well. The real Colonel Roosevelt and Stephen Crane have joined them along with Capt. Nemo and the hero of "Lieutenant Gullivar Jones: His Vacation". During a PAST long period of unemployment I caught up with audio books with these great old stories. AIP's figures and the period just asked to be painted and converted.
I tell you..if I had another life..I would definately get and paint up a ton of figs in this scale and the way you have done them. It reminds me so much of my younger days. Cheers paul

Love 'em! Is that red shirted fellow a Sir Alan Quartermain by chance? Have you found any good wargames rules to sue with such colorful characters?
