These chaps are mostly Armies In Plastic 1916 Germans with ‘paint conversions’. Helpfully the Austro-Hungarian Army used both the German helmet and one of indigenous design which looks - in 1/32 at least - pretty much identical.
The machine gunner began life as a metal hollow cast figure. An AIP head was grafted on along with a backpack and finally a plastic card shield added to the MG. The other chap was a WW2 Russian in a cheap Chinese set with an AIP head.

Cunning conversions carefully crafted.

Tears? Are they that bad?

You flatter, sir!
Another fine paint job with these too Tim.

Can I see Rommel?

Thanks. They’re surprisingly quick to paint.

Most unlikely - this is an Austrian unit!
