Over the last few nights I have been working on a reinforced French early war Infantry Company with some brilliant Caesar figures given to me from Al. Taking a wee break from from a long running project such as my current far east forces is a nice change. Above Platoon stand with Chatellerault M24/29 light machine gun and what looks to be a MAS-36 rifle.
Next stand two riflemen with possibly Lebel Model 1886 rifles.
MAS-36 rifle armed Platoon.
Lebel Model 1886 rifle on left... maybe, and MAS-36 on right. Limited figures mean some double ups. Al also gave me a few early WW1 French to help but I have not found the patience as of yet.
Command stand with riflemen with Lebel and Officer with MAS Model 38 Submachine Gun which appeared in limited numbers before the downfall, and on April 28, 1945, it was used by Italian partisans to shoot the former dictator Benito Mussolini...Cheers wiki!Nice change of pace, and I am still building a gun crew for my 25mm AT gun. Long term I will probably build up a Battalion once I get hold of a set myself or if Pegasus ever release their set. Cheers Al for the figures, nice one mate.
Interesting choice, they`re looking good. Wich colours do you use for the uniform?
ReplyDeleteNice figures - my first WW2 French (long departed) were from the slightly bizarre Revell set which I recall included figures with Adrian helmets and US webbing. Weird. Most of my current lot are metal - a mix of FAA, Raventhorpe and Drews Militia with a number of head swops evident.

These do look good :)
ReplyDeleteGood job Paul.
ReplyDeleteThey look really good, nice mix of poses; an excellent side-track.
ReplyDeleteCheers for the comments. On the next post I will have the colours.
ReplyDeleteI have those figures as well Tim, but I think they were ESCI.
Paul - you are right about them being Esci. I plead age, overwork and general bewilderment.

Great job on a nice set.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
