Here's the beginning, mainly WG Soviet scouts and a couple of Artizan and 1 BTD scout with heads from Woodbines and WG - WWI Brit Service Cap
The WG scouts come with separate heads but the others needed drilling
I then tidied up with some greenstuff and added hoods where needed. Also made a greenstuff grenade as it was miscast.

Here they are again with base colours blocked in will do highlights/washes and bases next
Decided to go with the black/green camo as the Lt Green/Dk Green did not show up enough even at 28mm when at 2'

Awesome work on the kit bash, camouflage is looking good as well.

I prefer the amoeba camo black as well for that very reason. If/when I fit in a scouts squad I'll be following suit.

Very nicely done thus far. You work fast!

Great stuff, these have come together really quickly.

Thanks Fred actually started work on them on 23rd July so about 12 days - there were only 10 of them I normally take 7 days to do a batch of ten figures and I really wanted to get these done as I had been working on them in my head while waiting for the bits to arrive.
