What? More Commandos?

Oh yes....

This time some cunning conversions- see if you can spot them. I used some Airfix British (new set), chopped off their heads and replaced them with what I think are Hong Kong copy beret heads I picked up in a cheap lot from Trade Me a while back. There is also a Battlefield Commando and a Kelly's Heroes officer type.
At the moment I have some more commandos on the painting table where I have replaced helmets with berets using greenstuff- my first ever attempt with the greenstuff, inspired by fellow Australian Dan Dunbar. But you shall have to wait for those....
