I wish to convert my EW Renegade French to EW Belgians. I would like them to wear the Shakos. I don't mind head swaps or "hat" swaps. Any ideas on what to do? Anyone sell a separate Shako wearing hat?

Why? There are Belgians commercially available. Try IT Miniatures.

Why?

Because I have a load of extra Renegade EW French in the same greatcoats that the EW Belgians wore. They are quite similar, except for the headgear. I have commercial Belgians from GWM and Ebor, that do match the Renegade figures.

Thanks for the suggestion of IT miniatures, but since they are 1/72 scale and Renegade is 28mm, I doubt that will work.

No, they'd be a bit pin headed!

I sold the French to a friend and am applying the funds to more Belgians. Easier that way.

The Belgians also wore kepis if that solves your problem!?!
