Kneepads

Hello folks!

I need your advice. I’m working on a “Blackhawk Down” diorama and for this project I have to “adjust” some figures (mainly Dragon Models).
I was wondering:
Did Rangers have kneepads during that operation and did they all wear them?
If so, do you know how I could make those pads, so that tey all look the same on all the figures?
If I make them one by one on each figure it will take ages and they won’t be alike.

Thanks!

Yes kneepads were worn in Somalia by Rangers. Not all wore them, it was an individual preference. You could try making a set and then casting duplicates in resin.

Thanks HeavyArty,
It’s good to hear that not everybody wore them … a little less work for me. [:D]
I think I’ll follow your advice of casting them in resin.

BTW I had a look at your pics; nice work. I liked the “Highway of Death” a lot. Where did you get the truck?
