I needed a detachment of coal miners from the region of Asturia for a game in which such chaps would dig siege works. I rummaged in the box of random figures and selected a few from the Airfix German Mountain Troops set. After shaving off weapons and webbing I lopped off their heads. Heads were replaced from my stock of spares - three bare heads and one wearing a nondescript floppy hat - and tools added. The latter were in the form of shovels and pickaxes from the ever useful Airfix Support Group set. Paintwork suggested the wearing of overalls and I added some 'rocks' to the bases for added atmosphere.
