Once again, it's been a long time since my last post.Becoming a father is the most beautiful thing but also, as it is expected , has changed radically the time schedule of my life.I spend all of my time to this little and fragile creature and enjoy watching it learning something new every day! I'm looking forward to the day that she will grab a pen and starts to mess this place up!!! For now, I'm trying to find some time, late at night, to enjoy some painting or researching.... With this post I will continue with my older creations.These figures are painted sometime during 2011. At this point I would like to thank all these friends that trusted their figures to me and gave me the opportunity to work with periods and uniforms that I couldn't imagine at that time!! So, let's see what we' ve got here... The Research French Foreign Legion is an army established at 1831 and fought mostly in French colonial wars but also in WWI and II. Lots of changes have been made in uniform during the years and wars.By checking the uniform and equipment of the "Conte" figures, I concluded that these are soldiers fought in Northern Africa during 1880-1910. The pictures above show uniforms from Morocco and Algeria and are most similar to the figures. There were also red trousers worn during that period from the Legionnaires but I painted all the soldiers in white and only the officers in red. The Figures I like these figures very much! Excellent faces and expressions.Very nice detail and very accurate in uniform and equipment.Even though my painting skill was not so advanced at that time, I really like the outcome. The only problem I had with these figures was the mould lines.Fortunately, there was no mould lines in the faces! Here you can see the mould lines in one figure and below you can see some pictures of the finished project. This was my favorite project at that time, and I will paint it again in the future for my collection. Thank you for reading this post and I hope you enjoyed another small journey in the world of painted miniatures. I would be very happy if this can be of help to anyone who wants to paint a similar or the same project. ........... 'till next time...See ya!!
