More STS

A few days ago I finished a set of figures I started last summer - well I had them prepped to paint and put them down for "a bit." They are all from RH Model's STS line (shirt-trousers-sandals). To make them fit my Post-Soviet collection better I filed, cut, filled in and "green stuffed" the sandals to make shoes (not too hard to do). Using green stuff I also added a prayer cap to one, headbands to two and added pant side pockets to another two. Those with green headbands are suitable for Chechens or Abkhazians whereas the guy with a red headband could be a PMR fighter and the one with a white headband is a Moldovan perhaps. In the future, this summer, hopefully, I plan to do two or three more groups of these great figures. There's lots of head swaps I want to do with these and I definitely need figures with plaid shirts and some with gym suits, etc.
