I looked over the Finnish platoon, did some fiddling around, and concluded my idea of shaving down the boot shaft and replacing it with tiny strands of wrapped Green Stuff to make puttees was not only overly complicated, but also unnecessary, and probably impossible. A far easier solution was to just cut several lines into the boot to create a puttee. Why this didn't occur to me initially, I couldn't tell you.🙄

| Left: Jackboots. Right: Puttees. |
After tackling the puttee issue, I modified four soldiers and painted them up, as a test run, and I am very happy with them!
I decided to go with the grey uniform, since the opposing Japanese would already be in a khaki/brown uniform, and this would provide a nice contrast.
Now to finish up the rest of the platoon!
