I finally got around to finishing the last model for the Chechen Fighters set I received from the Chechen War kickstarter from Tiny Model's Terrain. I held off on this one as the original model was done raising a sword in the air, and it didn't quite fit as well for me.
I was lacking in Modern firearms for doing a conversion, but managed to get a sprue of WWII weapons that included a shotgun. I figure it does the job.
I clipped off the offending hand, and added a hilt to the scabbard at his belt. The base also includes some new flock items I picked up from a recent Tamiya order: Snow, Blasted Heath, and Rubble. The results are of, but I think I will stick with the Snow past I have been using for the any further additions to this collection.
Currently the only remaining pieces from this set are a pair of AGS-17 launchers. One I am trying to convert to a Gas-Mask to go along with the CBRN platoon I already own. The other to a Soviet Paratrooper. Long term goals I am sure.

Nice conversion, looks natural

Thanks. Hopefully I can achieve the same outcome for the AGS-17 gunners
