Seven more to go!

| 2 Frenchmen, 1 Mamluke, what are the odds? |
Like all my French Rev 40's, not proper 'toy soldier' style but glossy but with a little bit of shading. Not a replication of any particular style other than my own but perhaps a subconscious bit of 'homage' to both toy soldiers and to some 70's glossy wargame figures. .
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal, 5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of Italian Greyhounds and 3 cats. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 160 yr old farmhouse and just living.
The Mamluke looks splendid and really gives the impression of movement.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the movement is the work of the original sculptor.
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteI’ve been following your blog posts about your figures conversions, and wish that I had the talent to do likewise. I’ve thought about doing something similar … but my modelling skills lie in a different direction.
All the best,
Bob
Bob, this was my hobby before I became a wargamer so more rhan 50 years practice. Hmm put like that, I should probably be better!
