I'm doing the command stands for my Viet Minh and would like to add a bugler type figure. Does anyone know of a suitable Pendraken (or other 10mm/12mm manufacturer) figure I could convert. A headswap would not be to hard...

There's bound to be something you could use - problem you'll have is that it's likely to be one figure from a pack of thirty Confused

I'd bung Dave an email & see what he comes up with...

Hi

I did a head swap to make a viet minh standard bearer but couldn`t find anything for a bugler.

Here's a thought - what about the WW2 Russian Commissar with megaphone - a bit of judicious filing & a tidy paint job might do the trick...code = SV35 = £1.05 for 10...

No idea of you can get just the musician/bugler from MM though.

As Nik, says, email Dave at Pendraken - they are usually very helpful.

Thanks all! I thought about the MM ones but the figures from them I've seen would look like Linebackers compared to the Pendraken

The MM ones will look pretty huge alongside Pendraken.
