Gentlemen, I am in the process of making my first conversions in 15mm. Peter pig British Sudan Infantry to Indian Inf. Does anyone have a simple way of designating them as pioneers or sappers and miners, it is difficult to find tools in 15mm Colin |

when I used to use plastics in 1/72 I made some tools out of hard carton paper and pins, glued on the backpack. I do no know if this works for 15mm, but you may try. |

Put a leather apron on them? They didn't usually carry the tools but had them in a wagon. |

Shagnasty, Thank you. I have a two wheeled cart, I think I will put some HO scale tools in it and keep it attached to the unit. |

Try adding some of range 16 pack 50 with a head swop or add some of the indian inf in the same range to alter the unit make up. I have also used things like the mule drivers as well |

CAG, thanks for the advice. Added to the suggestions from Shagnasty the "Bangalor Pioneer" should look pretty good. Colin |
