I have a bunch of British colonial type figures (with the sun helmets) and am looking for someone else they could be painted up as. Currently, I have all the British I need (as well as their allies and enemies). I also have German, Russian, U.S., Spanish, and Cuban/South American troops.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Vince |

Back in the day, I painted up a few units of Ral Partha Brits as Belgian infantry and marines. |

As noted, Canadians and Aussies – also Mexicans or Belgiums If you need a few more Germans you could use them for a Seebattalion Also could be Italians Also some South American nations used sun helmets Argentina link |

Austro-Hungarian infantry on Crete, 1897? link
Many of them have sun helmets, though some have kepis. You're not likely to find anybody else who has them. Grelber |

I have painted Ral Partha Brits with sun helmets as Italians in China. Based on plate in Osprey book on Boxer Uprising. Could do the French too with a little modification.
