A machine-gun section of the King's African Rifles (KAR).
The three machine-gunners have had the Japanese steel
helmet carved into a fez. The Corporal commanding the
section is an ESCI 1:72 scale British colonial infantryman.
The conversion would be more convincing, if the Japanese
Nambu machine-gun had been replaced with a Vickers
machine-gun taken from EMHAR's British WW1 Artillery.

Since you have shown some 1/72nd figures here, let me leap in with these (he! he!):

Ideal we think for VSF British cavalry.. and the foot figures look really characterful with the right look/feel...

The first two rows would work for home service cavalry even in the

Joe is correct, very nice find indeed! By the by, I for one am
no scale prude! Hell with the
current crop of 15s following the lead of the 25mm set and growing
up closer to 18mm than classic
15...it soon wont matter!
