Heinrichsen French Infantry Completed - 40mm Flats



Finished the French infantry set. I'd have been just as happy to have all the poses like the two figures in the foreground, particularly instead of in the firing position.  Certainly if the CO valued his life he wouldn't be out front with his men blazing away. But this is what I had to work with and I'm happy with them.







No sign of the Scad molds yet. Cause for concern but not time to give them up as lost yet.  The teaser was the mail carrier ringing the doorbell yesterday afternoon, indicative of a package requiring delivery confirmation. Turned out to be a registered letter for my wife, grrrr.  Anyway, I do expect them to arrive this week and in the meantime I certainly don't lack for things to paint.

  3. Thanks very much, gentlemen.

    I agree about the pose of the officer, Simon. "Mes enfants, let us forget about those little confinements to barracks and floggings, oui ? We are all in this together now, defending the soil of our beloved France !" ;-)
