ww1 Romanians

[Firescale Whack]

I wasn't sure where to ask this but LAF seems like the sort of mad place to! I have a bunch of 15mm ww1 Austrians, that I was going to paint up as Austrians. But I have always been interested in the Balkan wars and was wondering if simply painting them they could pass as Romanians. I haven't looked through any uniform books recently but from what I can remember the uniform is quite similiar. Any thoughts would be much appreciated?

pretty close, but not the helmets, and I am not sure about the kit

I was thinking of early war, so helmets are not an issue as noone wore them! Thanks for the link aswell.

well, in 15 mm it should hardly be a problem then

Haha, I like the way you think

seriously, even in 20 mm one could make generic troops with a few uniform cuts and straps, all the same pants, puttees and shoes. I am surprised none did a basic plastic set which can be augmented with metal. but in 15mm? how bad can it be?

'even in 20 mm one could make generic troops with a few uniform cuts and straps, all the same pants, puttees and shoes.' It may be an interesting project for someone to create, say, a German army from British figures, just for fun...
