Title: 15mm Nicholas II conversion. Have mini, have photos,help with colour
Post by: Fjodin on July 03, 2010, 04:11:38 PM

I am currently trying to convert one mini into Nicholas II in field uniform.

Someone maybe noticed my 15mm Otto von Bismarck http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=15000.0

So what I found for Nikki:

I have a mini of Bulgarian officer (figure on the left)

Here are some photos of him in uniform. Problem is they are black and white. And it difficult to tell colour of all parts of uniform.

Can somebody help me? It will be good to give him colours of Russo-Japanese War/Boxer Rebellion era.

PS. Some of these photos can be WW1 and pre WW1 are :(

Unfortunately, I can't offer help as to the colors, but what project is this for?  It's quite interesting.

Interesting.

Surely, as they are all black and white, you could make it up.

The last one looks like he is definately wearing a white top with dark green trousers.

At this scale, I would suggest making sure he stands out from your normal Russians and that might be the way of doing it.
