Figures from France
Dated: June 18, 2002.
A contribution from David Ducouret of France:
"I've been a long time without sending you a new figure, but this didn't mean I had give up painting. Here is a new conversion I've made of a French dragoon (Italeri). What it is supposed to be now is a cuirassier (9th regiment, yellow distinctive color), without his cuirass and his horse, sitting on a small stone wall."
"Yeepee!!! I am proud to introduce you to my first 54mm figure, a French Guard Artillery corporal 1810-1814 (Historex). This figure is supposedly of a limited number, only for the readers of the French magazine Figurines. This is new for me, my figure has a real face, eyes, lips and features (to my great disappointment I could never manage to paint 1/72 figures' faces, maybe after a few more years of training...). Now my father can't say that painting small soldiers is a child's game..."
Some of Airfix's grenadiers of the Imperial Guard.
Many thanks to Mr. David Ducouret for sharing his figures with us.
