Is anyone planning on manufacturing these? Or has anyone successfully modded some other 15mm figure in shorts? Thanks, Mark |

I use Peter Pig British 8th Army for a lot of things for that very reason -- they're in shorts. And PP also does separate heads (rather cleverly, I might add), so that you can find just about anything you're looking for. Admittedly, it did take a good bit of work swapping out head for my French Foreign Legion company but the end result is worth it. |

The Peter Pig Vietnam Australians may work out. They are SLR armed with similar head ware to the Rhodesians. No shorts though. |

Yeah, I've seen the PP 8th Army figures and wondered how I'd do a head swap and swap the weapon (SLR/FN or MAG LMG). I suppose the Bren trooper would only need a head swap. I could try a waist swap between a PP 8th Army fig and a PP Australian or African in Portuguese Hat with SLR. Has anyone tried a mid body swap like this? |

Later on some RLI started wearing coveralls when they jumped from Daks. |

Martello International will be releasing some 20mm scale minis soon if the 15mm option doesn't work out? |
