I was torn using the divers knives for bayonets since most civil war era
bayonets were more of the "Tent peg" or "spike" Variety.  Since I have all
of those tool wheelsfrom the Rock Raider minifig paks, I tried using the
screwdriver, but it didn't look as brutish as the knives.  The knives on the
ww rifles with the pith helmets would make great British foreign legion
skirmishers though!

I'm so stoked that this place is lighting up with comments again! The main
torso that most of us are using seems to be the Gabarro torso from the river
raft and the river Expedition set.(speaking of which, has anyone come up
with a civil war fig wearing the black kepi that comes in the river
expedition?) Are there any other grey torsos that work from other themes?

I've got some stuff from a Zulu mock up using the pith helmets w\the red
imperial guards outfits  and Islanders, but where should those ttpes of pics
be posted to, Pirate?  Adventurers? (I got the Idea from David Little BTW).

Using the Johnny Thunder Torsos, The Hook Guy and the Tan Gail Storms
figures (each deset adv. set came with all three, so if you bought them all,
you've got plenty of tan and pith) I also mocked up a pre- WWI british
desert airstip / safari team.  I'll try to post pics sometime soon.

(...) Yes - the RR mini-fig pack (4930) includes one dark grey torso (even though it's a little marred by having the yellow&black striping on one of the pockets) and two pairs of dark grey legs. And of course the kepi... You might want to check any (...) (23 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.western)
