FFL and Senagalese
Suitable for the '30's through WW2, here are some french Foreign Legion troops.
First up, some Artizan troops.
This group comes in at close to 20 figures. So front of group.
Rear of group. Wonderful to paint. Great poses.
Officers who wore the red cap, with gold lace.
Senegalese, from Warlord, a squad pack.
Everyone is mounted on 7/8" fender washers, sand and Elmer's glue painted with craft paints.
These have been in the finished box for awhile but will be receiving reinforcements Ala Murch's Pulp Figures. I could not resist the character packs.

Senegal... a few years back, when my sister was researching Military records in DC in preparation for my dad to be interred at Arlington National Cemetery, she also obtained the service records of both of my grandfathers. My mother's father, who died when my mother was about age 16, turned out to have served as a sergeant in the US Marine Corps, fighting in Europe in WW1. It turns out that while he was there, he learned French so well that after the war he worked as French interpreter in the Embassy in Senegal! That probably explains why there was a set of Rhinoceros tusks in one of the rooms of my parent's home!
