So these are DKK torsos on VL Victorian legs. Some of the arms are DKK and some are VL. A lot of the pre-loved DKK rifles are broken at the worst possible point, but I have some ideas of how to deal with that.
Not all of these figures are 'dressed' yet to hide the join, but these two give a good idea - there's a mix of DKK and VL bits.
Junior Officer in the same idiom. One DKK arm and one VL one.
Thats 'im again. What a poser.
I've toyed with a couple of schemes, but am learning towards the Blue Krieg scheme with a red stripe down their trousers - representing the same regiment but wearing their summer jackets instead of their winter greatcoats. Again, moving the fluff forwards. As Col Hertford reminds us, one more stone turned in the search for hobby perfection.
Really like this combo! Very cool idea to have them in their Summer uniforms too - a nice change from the usual DKK.
ReplyDeleteA lovely-looking bunch o' Guardsmen there. Very inventive combination of parts too, and I love the idea of doing classic regiments in other dress states.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cool kitbash combo - looks awesome, man!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought that combination would work.... but it does! Brilliant Zzzzzz!
