A while ago, I finished painting up some Rebel Minis 15mm scale US infantry as Canadians. Realistically, you can't see any difference because I didn't actually do any conversions to the figures, but they're still Canadians to me, dammit.
There's the usual painting story and a few more pictures here. tl/dr; version:
OMG SRSLY flash. |

They don't look any different, but I can hear their funny accents. Can you, eh? |

I tried to give a large variety in skin tones, too, to reflect Canada's diverse population. I mixed the colours for each figure separately, so no two should have exactly identical skin colours. There's also a greyish dot on one of the shoulders, which represents the maple leaf on the uniform. I suppose I should make a shipping container with a Tim Horton logo on it, too. There was one in Kandahar, but it closed in Nov 2011. |

So you think Canada is more diverse than the US? Really? Not a big deal but struck me as funny that someone would think that. |
