Title: Romanians?
Post by: pyrrhicvictory on 28 March 2012, 12:39:44 AM
Perhaps an odd request, but does anybody actually make any Romanians?  I have been unable to find any... :'(

I expect Frenchmen are the closest you’ll get, which as far as I know are pretty close.

Helmets are different in the two wars (French Adrian helmet in WWI), but the caps look similar. If somebody did them with caps they might pass.

The late war WW1 uniform seems to be very similar to the WW2 one, apart from the helmet. Headswaps, maybe?

The 2nd picture, where they are dressed in the blue uniforms is interesting. I wonder if the Renegade Austro-Hungarians with caps would work? You would have to make the small peaks on the caps from greenstuff.
