Cereal Warriors of The World & Conversions

 The 1960s Warriors of the World were silver plastic cereal premiums. They were an exciting part of breakfast!

  The figures are about 50mm and rather 'undersized' contrasted to my other toy soldiers but the variety of eras made them fascinating.

  Below are my paintjobs and conversions. I like the idea of a chronology of uniforms from ancients to modern.
