Otherwise look at Victorian brass firemen's helmets.

Or indeed heavy cavalry helmets...

(My little Ponytail may be left at home on when campaign, if you don't want the Prussians sniggering behind their hands at you.)

as I noted happened when we wore helmets over NBC kit in the 1980s.

Blimey, that brings back memories. That NBC kit nearly killed me, literally!

Well chaps, you haven't let me down with ideas (even background thanks to Justin). I'm going to have a sit down with the paints and have a play. I'll post some pics and share when I get some time.

Erm...... any suggestions on a decent brass?

Went through my paint collection and I've got every metallic colour going. No brass though.

if you have gold, tone it down with brown wash

Thanks matey.

Brass or bronze for the helmets. Bress fittings on the mask. I think that would do it,

How do they ascend from on high? If it was me I would have used Highlanders with a balanced spar of liftwood strapped to their web gear. The kilt would make for a very stable approach and a landing not soon to be forgot. That would be too far.

Time to get modelling.....

Right chaps, I took your advice on board and changed the helmet colour to brass and the mask to a more canvass look. It's only a rough paint job for now that needs to be touched up. Sorry the pics are a bit poo but I took them on my phone. When I've got a chance I'll take some better pics of the figure on a nef to put it into context. Anyway, what are your thoughts:

Wow, change a few details and it gets even better.

Very nice!

Gracias,

He looks brilliant!

Time to switch to full time production!

Yes, that's more like it. Only needed a tweak or two and it looks far more "VSF". Lovely

I like it better, not that it wasn't good in the first place!!

I have to say that gas mask gives him a very spooky look. Might make for a nice nickname for his group.

In any case I think this look is more of a "something new and experimental" look rather then trench and mud look, which is a good thing.

Agreed. It's looking more VSF.
