Pegasus Conversions

















Jacques Cavalcanti has sent two more samples of his good work. This time he has helped the dead rise from the grave. On the right we see a Pegasus Soviet Naval Infantry soldier on the ground. He is one of the dead guys in the set. He has been glued to a base and is so happy about this turn of events that he is a dancing figure. Now Jacques needs to convert a concertina player to accompany him!
The second figure is from the Germans in Berlin set. This dead Volksstrum man has been saved from death and now is a standing shooting figure. The arm from an Imex German kneeling shooting figure has been used to replace the rifle arm on the dead guy.
I really like this type of stuff. The ability to take figure poses of limited value and making them into unique poses. Newsreels often show Soviet soldiers dancing so the dancing guy is particularly good. I may have to make several and create a nice little Soviet 'USO' troupe!
Thank you Jacques for these great conversions. Jacques says that Pegasus is his favorite figure company and it is easy to see why. Thank you Larry Pegasus!

I enjoy taking "useless" poses and making them into something good. Last night I spoke to Larry Pegasus on the phone and told him about these conversions, and he was quite pleased. Good work!
