Foot Scout

I have been modifying a large number of my WWI Airfix American Army figures by providing them with new heads.

So I have a number of the heads wearing the Montana Peak hat or Smokey the Bear hat left over.

So some of them are going to become boy scout heads.

Here a mixture of Airfix High Chaparral and Cowboys figures have had their heads replaced with Smoky the Bear hats.

 This guy started as a WWII German but now he is as American as apple pie in his new boy scout hat.  Many scouts, particularly in the first 50 years or so of the organization wore home made uniforms or only partial uniforms.  So they often did not look all that uniform.  By using a number of different kinds of figures as the basis for the scouts I hoped to get more variety of appearance.
