French Foreign Legion (WWII)

[ADM]

The French foreign legion for the Battle of Bir Hakeim and others fight against Rommel in the desert, it's part of a big wargame project who will include Italians, Afrikakorps, Anzac, 8th army with a lot of vehicules, planes and so on.

There's 125 figures, for more details see my work in progress

[ADM]

Many thanks everybody !

You're right Kekso, when I take picture I think it's close enough but when posted it's automatically downsized and I realize the subject is somewhat too small, anyway here is some enlargements :

You do it wrong!
You paint more French Foreign Legion soldiers as there in reality was.

If I see at all your Topic it look to me that you paint in one year more figures as I do in all my modelling years.

[guilhem]

At birhakeim french soldiers were only 3500 soldiers (legion, tirailleurs senegaleses, french navy men)...
So ADM need paint other soldiers....

[Hellboy]

ADM, which for a great performance! 125 figures - that's incredible !!
The painting I like very much. And it incomprehensible to me, how you do it at the large number of figures?
Thanks for all the wonderful photos !!!

[huib]

Very nice paintwork on these beautiful figures, ADM! I especially like the 75mm guns and their ammunition wagons. It is also inteesting to see colonial troops among your predominantly Foreign Legion figures. Very well done!

[ADM]

Many thanks everybody for all those great comments !

The figures from guilhem were more easy to paint than the SHQ figures because the details and faces are more neat, but with more work you can't see the difference !

The french 75 gun is from Alby miniatures, for those who want to complete their set of Legion you can find it here (ref 1001) :

"1001. Canon de 75mm Bir-Hakeim surbaissé des FFL/ FFF dropped A-T gun"

But of course you can replace them by some british or US gun, it work as well for many others battle.
