Does anyone know of a company that makes sets of British boots. I know verlinden do conversion sets with boots in them but I need about 10 pairs for the figures I'm working on.
Cheers.

Consider making a mold of a suitable pair and casting your own? It's not hard at all?

I've thought about this but it's not something I've tried before. I'll start swotting up.

Are you asking about DMS or the current offerings?

As an alternative to casting, have you considered acquiring one or more of the various sets of plastic figures (Tamiya, Dragon, Masterbox, Miniart etc.) of WW2 British troops and chopping off the feet? Might be cheaper than setting up for casting, particularly if you can score them at bargain proces at shows, eBay etc.. Plus you get lots of heads, arms, helmets, weapons and equipment for the spares box.
