The Loose Association of Wargamers

Finished 12 Chasseur Flankers of the Guard this morning before nipping off to Fiasco.

I have used Alberken/Early Minfigs French Voltigeurs for this unit. I bought these nearly 50 years ago from BMW models in Wimbledon. The last photo shows my how I painted figures as as a youngster.





Painted as Austrians in circa 1972/73.

Curse you Ilkley!

Wow, there's a name from the past! When I first went there (early 70s) they had given up on Minifigs and were selling Hinchliffe.

42mm naval infantry for Toscana. I have a major decision to make, do I leave the pompoms white or add a touch of red to the overall blue & white uniform?

Yes, I think you should.

Red might make them look a bit French (and who wants that), what about a nice light blue?

Definitely orange.

That'll make them look Dutch.

Melon green.
All the cool cats wear it.

I'm obviously going to have to organise a beauty contest.
