Azeri Scouts

Because I was running low on my favorite filling material I was only able to prep a small batch of figures a few weeks back. It helped to paint a small bunch when it came time to do the camouflage, but otherwise I think I'd rather paint more figures in one go. The figures I worked on are meant to represent an Azeri reconnaissance unit during the Nagorno-Karabakh War. I'm working a bunch more to go with these guys, but first I stuck with those wearing camouflage.

Most of these figures got head swaps. For one figure I added a small flag to his hat using green stuff and for another I sculpted a bit of ammo. The figure I worked most on was originally a mujaheddin fighter, but I converted him by swapping his head, carving off his shirt tail and sculpting him a new butt (a first!).
