and a picture of an Algerian Turco as he would
have looked in Tonkin..with the faded deep sky blue
jacket given to the troops as a nod to their Zouave/turco
unifrom more like a second combat coat

More beautiful figs!!!! What an impressive figure line this has turned out to be. It looks as if this will be a complete and independent line for the Tonkin campaign. It think many of these figs will be useful in other campaigns as well.

Those are great paint jobs on both Fusilier Marines!!! This whole range is very exciting and motivational. It looks as if the Tonkin campaign is going to become my next project.
