Repaired Britains Hollow-cast Greatcoat Guards

 I had three Britains Greatcoat marching guards that lacked heads and rifle arms. For some reason two of them were a lighter grey than usual. I retrieved some home-cast Britains guardsman heads from a spares tray and a peaked cap head. The red tabs on the darker grey coat indicated a Red guardsman so that one got the peaked cap. The heads were painted in traditional toy soldier style, although the dot eyes are not drifting down the cheeks as they tended to do in the originals. The flesh also does not drift into the lower hat.
