I've searched TMP and cannot find a thread reference to someone making WW1 Belgians. Can anyone recommend one of more manufacturers and how compatible with the Minifigs 15mm WW1 lines?

Peter Pig. peterpig.co.uk/range16.htm Minifigs tend to be bigger in stature. Can't mix them on the same base but in the same army yes. Cheers Mark

Agree with Dropship Horizon…I built several Battalions of Belgians by Peter Pig to go with all the Minifigs I have of the other nations.

Not to my knowledge. Peter Pig, Minifigs and Irregular have the largest 15mm WW1 collections and Irregular don't have Belgies. Eureka, Bloodaxe and Feudal/QRF are small ranges and again, no Belgies. Depending on what you are looking for, and didn't mind going into 'squint mode' you could use some C19th Austrians or other suitable Central European figs. Everything you wanted to know about Belgie WW1 uniforms, organisation etc here: link and here: link Cheers Mark

With the Peter Pig figures you can swap heads to give some variety to your Belgiums. Mine now have a variety of shakos, feldmutzes and kepis.
