Mens fashions don't change much and in 1/72nd scale it's even harder to see what's different.
My plan is to use these figures as American Militia for my War of the Worlds project for the entire time span of the project, 1898 to the present.
I live in rural Kentucky, USA and I see guys who look just like this at the supermarket, often with guns.
Of course, today they would have a greater mix of guns but for 1898 to about 1958 these guys and these long bolt action guns are just fine.
Baggy clothing, floppy hats, beards, and a bolt action rifle are common for men who work outside in areas were there are dangerous wild animals, or where hunting is common.
I may do a few head swaps, perhaps some baseball caps, or cowboy hats to Americanise these guys a little.
But considering they are from the Boer War they are pretty good.
Another great set from Strelets in 1/72nd scale plastic.
