If you’re new to collecting armies and plastic and you happen to find some of these figures, I would recommend buying them if they’re a good price American doughboy World War I both variance are quite rare and complete sets can be a bit pricey Zulu’s very difficult to find and often not worth the price that they’re sold for and finally French foreign Legion in Horizon blue I currently only have these ones I have two boxes of them if you do find the others snag them all you can. They are no longer in production.

(using armies in plastic figures )This will be a bit more tough than the French what you will need are the German World War I infantry/Franco pressure war figures, preferably in a lighter color and some figures with slouch hats maybe the Spanish American War figures union iron brigade if you cut the hat down a bit or some of the bore war figures next to what you would need to do is paint them a tan or khaki color and Walla you now have some German imperial troops. This design is mostly for African colonies. I can’t really figure out a way to do the stuff for the South Pacific. If you have any ideas, please come and blow.

There is currently only Zouaves and the foreign legion if you want naval troops I would recommend using the head of a British soldier with a pith helmet in blue and the body of a Zouave soldier and using a hobby knife to modify the musket to look more like a Lebel 1886
