Could I get away with using Romainians as greeks?

Hello ciaphas

The uniform is similar but just be aware that in the mould making process the rifle was bent around the horse so a bit of careful knife/scalpel work is needed to free it and straighten it.

Hello ciaphas

Had a think and looked at uniform references:-





You could use the WW1 French cavalry in Adrian helmet (have to cut the lance away) or you could use the SCW cavalry (in shirtsleeves):-

or the SCW Foul Weather cavalry:-

i had just assumed they would look like the infantry, but SCW cavalry look like the way to go.

thanks a lot
