PPCLI in the Korean War
« on: 02 January 2015, 02:17:43 AM »
I've always been interested in Canada's role in the Korean War, especially surrounding the battles, skirmishes and patrol actions of the PPCLI (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry). I'm venturing off into my own "no man's land" of figure conversion here, since no manufacturer makes "Canadian" figures, much less ones in cold weather gear (as shown in the illustration). So, a little Artizan here, a little Warlord there, and a little greenstuff everywhere, and I present my attempt at the PPCLI (or just about any Canadian unit) on patrol in a Korean winter.

Ah well, I thought there might be some slight equatorial shifting going on with the photos...
