Airfix WWI American Army

I don't like to waste anything, so I gathered up a bunch of the dead guys from the Airfix WWI American Infantry set.

I took some pins from lego type bricks, a couple bits of wire and a some excess sheet plastic.  It made a nice creeper for these figures to lay down on.

So here is the soldier working on a Roco 2 1/2 ton army truck.

Here are some of my WWI British Infantry that I am going to use for police.  It was not unusual for American police to have machine guns in their inventory as far back as there have been machine guns!

I am using cheap styrene plastic civilian figures as police, I swap the heads with Airfix WWI British Infantry because their caps are similar to police hats that US police used for about 100 years.

 My plan is to have .50 caliber US machine guns, M2, .30 caliber Colt, Marlin, and M1919 Colt machine guns.  Also the Thompson, M1 carbine, and the M60 machine gun.  I have confirmed that all of these, except the M60, have certainly been used by US police forces.
