so far I have built two figures... one from Algeria in the 50s, and another from Djibouti in the 80s...
I’ve started basic painting and will build more of the figures and get them posted over the next few days here...

1/35 Academy Légion étrangère
Wanting to try out my new photo booth, I decided to build some figures from this Academy set. For some reason my new area puts me in a mood for this set...

Very cool subject! I like the zouve pants. Can we expect a diorama? Dien Bien Phu perhaps?
Thanks,

No diorama. These figures cover 30 years of Legion history across two continents. And only one is from Indochina.

Quite an interesting subject.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Very cool. I need to learn to paint figures like this. I have a lot from those Hasegawa sets.

They are indeed! Their battle honors post WWII are pretty impressive.LyleW wrote:Quite an interesting subject.
Yes, figure painting is my biggest challenge. Not something that I can say that I have come close to mastering, let alone getting constant acceptable results.Medicman71 wrote:Very cool. I need to learn to paint figures like this. I have a lot from those Hasegawa sets.

Some funny looking uniforms. Looks like your photo booth is giving some good lighting.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

The Sahara uniform is actually pretty practical for its intended area. And I imagine that the hot weather walking out dress uniform is not a bad option for Djibouti either.Floki wrote:Some funny looking uniforms. Looks like your photo booth is giving some good lighting.
Yes, the booth has a nice adjustable brightness LED halo lamp up top for proper lighting. No more fiddling around like before.
