Could these be used to represent historical WW1/Interwar airmen as well?

I´d think so, though I don´t know about the weapons...

Some of the weapons look like HEWJ sten-guns. The weaponry looks good but is unusable for historicals. Sadly, the glove-helmet is a fiction (as well as being incredibly uncomfortable, I suspect).

So, not for historical.

But they look fan-mazing and I want some for my Rhinoceros Air Pirates of the lost Planet Gron project. Two small curved armatures on the helmet and I have a convincing air pirate.

Bu the way, the standard international salute of all rhino air pirates is to place the thumb directly under the nose,with the index finger vertically exended and the remaining fingers closed. Then push the nose up with the thumb while screaming "Aaaarrrhhh-snort-bree" in a high-pitched tone. You'd be surprised at the reception.

Some of the guns look like the later version of the Bergman

In the recent "Red Baron" movie I think I saw a British fighter Lewis gunner in a similar helmet

So there might be some hope of historical resemblance?

Great looking figures. The patch is very nicely done. Some of those pictures are quite Hollywood Pulpish shots too. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic stuff. I don't know what to be more impressed by; your painting skills, or your camera skills. Both are superb.

They are not nice, they are incredible.  You really got the facial features down, they are very realistic.  How did you do it?
