1:18 NVA

Post by bswearer » Wed May 06, 2009 11:26 pm

so i picked up the 5 americans cheaply and now they need an enemy. since the original nva are nowhere to be found, been searching for ideas here. don't want the vietcong look so no pirates of carribean for me!!!

i've seen the idea for using the Star Wars Rebel Honor Guard for bodies and they look pretty close. what about indiana jones either indy or the germans?

could grind down the raised parts....these could maybe work for ww1/ww2 brits???

There is a post that exists on the board about using the same exact Star Wars figure for a NVA figure.
Not familar on head switching SW's figs heads, but might be able to use Indiana Jones figures heads for the swap?

I am not sure about those playmobile helmets working with XD figures heads. I would say they would be too big.

I have not come across with any other source for those NVA pith helmets.

Anyone have any suggestions on this?
