Excellent research, conversions, and painting. I appreciated the close-ups, the list of source figures, and the painting guide on your blog. Thanks for sharing them with us!

It's very nice to see these colonial troops represented. These look great! Very good conversions and excellent painting.

Very nice and very different.

The conflict areas if memory serves me right were very interesting and full of characters.


Best wishes,

Chris

I like your conversions and the theme. Can you give us some more informations with which figures did you worked?
I know that the french producer Retrokit has made also some senegalese figures - and I made also some conversions with WW! french soldiers to get some senegalese troops for my diorama Verdun.
