New redcoat/old cross belt...
« on: August 31, 2011, 18:22:48 »

...and I am not a fan of the new uniform. :hmm:
Nor do I like how they made the cross belts...

Well Warrior, I gave it a shot, this is the only cross belt I have left... I used the klicky from 5139 that has no printed cross belt on him...

nice!  now, save for buying direct from DS (which I've never attempted to do), seems my only recourse to have the ultimate redcoat army is to buy several 5139's and transplant all the straps from my old redcoats onto the strapless guy with painted accents.....

Then, what to do with the strapless old redcoats?  I could paint/tape on some replacement stripes and use them as cannon fodder troops I guess.

Man I can't wait for the pirate theme to reach the USA

but it's still bothering me:  black collar and yellow cuffs?  i prefer if they were white too

the red on the new redcoats seems more ORANGE-red than the older redcoats.  Almost the same colour as the puffs on the tricorns (btw, why are they puffs?  they should be plumes!)
