Hi everybody,
im about to start a new projekt about the american indian wars. Therefore i need some unmounted US cavalry figures to protect a fort. Unfortunatly there are no appropriate figures on the market and i need to build my own by converting existing figures. (Im not able to sculpture them by myself )
Here is a example of how i expect my figures to look like (without the cape):
For the upper body i will try to use the german africa corps by airfix because of the pockets and suspenders:
But for the lower body i haven't found a ideal figure kit. I need figures with boots reaching up to the beginning of the knee and trousers which are not overlaid by parts or pieces of clothing from the upper body. The only set that i have found that fulfills these requirements is airfix ww2 australian infantry. But the quality is not the best and i hope to find some other sets to have more variety in my figures.
Does anyboby know where i can find a set that would match my needs? I would highly appreciate some ideas and suggestions.
Best Regards,
Romeo
