W. Britains kepi conversion

One of the regiments that I am building is the Sixteenth Michigan Regiment of Volunteers.  I did'nt have enough line officers for that unit, but I did have a duplicate Iron Brigade officer, however he was wearing a Hardee hat rather than the kepi that I needed.


With file, emery board, paint and brush, I got to work.


I've been working with pewter for well over thirty years, and have developed a pretty good hand for making modifications.



I'm very pleased with the result.

There are more of these conversions to come, so please, do stop by from time to time for updates.  Until then...




Soldier on!
