What a nice looking chap! I'm going to have to try this conversion also. I think I'll cut his head and turn it slightly to right as well. I hope it gives the appearance of looking down the ranks.
I wonder if you mightn't even try just turning the head with some needle-nosed pliers. I think that's what I'll do when I do the next one. Just pad the jaws well to save them from cutting into the casting. Remember to build up the cartridge box again after you cut the arm away from it. I forgot... :^( ... but don't tell anyone!

Hi Donald,

Naturally I want to see pictures!
