French 1914

[realthing]

Been rather sidetracked but finally got some French line infantry done along with a command group. Here's the whole mob, as before based for HFG so there's a division's worth of infantry here:

Here is a close up of an infantry element. The figures are from F1 (there are three poses, officer, soldier firing and soldier advancing). In one of the elements in the mass shot I used the officer from the artillery set F6 to ring the changes. (He's the figure right at the back in the middle standing upright).

Also made up a command element designed to represent a cavalry command group. The two foot figures are the poses from F16 (High Command). The mounted figure on the left in pale blue is a conversion from the mounted officer in the British Cavalry set BP5. Adjusted the arm pose, converted his hat into a schako-like thing and made some minor changes to the saddlery/horse furniture. He is supposed to represent a hussar officer. The other mounted figure is the officer from the French Dragoon set F11. He has had his right arm removed and replaced in a more relaxed pose using green stuff but is otherwise just a dragoon in a riding coat. The foot figure in the side cap is painted to represent a cuirassier officer without cuirass.


I've included the figure codes to make it easier for anyone searching to find the photos if they want to check out the poses. Hope they're of interest.

Really lovely! Allez le Bleu!

Shouldn't that be "Allez les Bleus"?

Er....Oui, Ray !!
Can't believe the footy season is about to start again.
Cheers - Phil.

Thought it was singular, like the team? Anyway, let it not detract from some rather spiffing quality troops!

Very nice

I'd go for les Bleus personally but either way, thanks for the kid comments all.
