Re: Don Cossacks -- Russo-Japanese War

I hope so, Uwe, as I'd like to create some Russo-Japanese armies without having to wait for the promised offerings from Caesar.
As a seasoned collector, do you have any suggestions for Russo-Japanese Japanese infantry from existing sets that wouldn't require a lot of conversion?

Re: Re: Don Cossacks -- Russo-Japanese War

Hi Peter,

I've converted some Japanese infantry from WW1 British Airfix. The Russians - simply HAT WW1 or other WW2 figures with a head conversion.

On the other hand, there are a lot of metal figures for this war on the market now. I've found a new one which produced 15 sets of Japanese alone in the last few weeks. I've got the figures last week, they are great! More will follow.

cheers

Peter and Uwe,

Andrew Hughes has some simple paint jobs to produce what look awesome Russian and Japanese formations.

The Strelets Boer War range offers Indian and British formations for the Boxer Rebellion. And the WW1 and Crimean War sets also offer heaps of figures.

Have a great day, Frank

Hi Frank,

what a great link, many thanks! A shame that the resolution of the pictures is not so good.

Top Foto offers some of these too, but with their code over it.

Take a look at this link if you want to spend more money:
