This
is an especially easy technique that gives more than adequate results.
Examples of two selected British WWII 8th Army figures in shorts before
modifications.

Figures
with shorts trimmed down and white glue "trousers" applied. Once white
glue begins to harden shape with suitable folds and apply futher glue if
necessary. To get the right thick consistency, leave the white glue in
a container with the top removed overnight.
Once
the trousers have dried, paint basic uniform colour, drybrush, detail,
varnish and base according to your preferences.
Some
completed figures. Officer and figure carrying Bren gun, in this case both
Esci and Airfix Afrika Korps figure.
This
is a technique I first used after reading an interesting article published
on Klaus Schultheis' superp "www.miniatures.de"
