The Daphne Blue Strat Posted February 13, 2008 Have any of you guys ever tried to make bearskin caps for your troops? I actually came up with one way (because I only had one shako for four soldiers)... 1. take a 1x1 black cylinder (cannonball, anyone?) 2. take TWO small offset-tread tires 3. put the cylinder through the center of the two tires... A picture of the finished product will be forthcoming... ...if anybody else gives it a try, tell me what you think. *I* think it looks good but I'm obviously biased...

Captain Ka-Boom Posted February 13, 2008 It has already completed that way. You did not make it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Bucanero Posted February 13, 2008 You made that up yourself? I actually doubt it.. I believe it is a rather old idea. Used alot as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted February 14, 2008 Where did people in the highlands get bearskins from? Bears aren't indigenous to that region are they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanotrooper Posted February 14, 2008 I have a perhaps even better deisgn for bearskins, yet it needs some work... TT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tedbeard Posted February 14, 2008 Where did people in the highlands get bearskins from? Bears aren't indigenous to that region are they? There may once have been bears in the Highlands but for the last 150+ years the main source for the British has been Canada. *sweet* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlyOwl Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) Where did people in the highlands get bearskins from? Bears aren't indigenous to that region are they? Aye, bears and wolves all lived in Scotland and England and Wales before they were all killed between the end of the Roman dynasty and the Middle Ages, so some time during the Dark Ages (Historical, not Lego X-D ). The wild boars were all hunted out during the Middle Ages, but we still have some that have escaped from farms that occasionally attack people, but it's quite rare. The main big predators we have nowadays are big cats that have escaped from zoos and private collections and go round mauling old ladies' cats! :-D Of course, the largest indigenous carnivore we have is the badger. ;-) Biology ON!
