Thierry la Fronde brings back memories of my youth! :)
Belle figurines.
Very clever, I like the hood. :)
Fantastic!
And I used to watch that show as a kid and have fond memories of it!
Cracking conversion, he looks quite menacing!
Nice conversions there! :-*
And fine paintjobs, too!
if you known it as a kid, you should be classified as an "old" wargamer lol lol lol
Ahem. They were reruns in the eighties of course. lol
This is a great project 8)
Oooh I just discovered this thread!
:o Excellent idea!
I was a big fan of Thierry la Fronde when I was a kid! ...and this TV series probably had some responsability in the fact that I became a Medieval Re-enactor much later. lol
I was too young then to spot all anachronisms, the silly costumes; older people certainly understood that it was a mix of French WW2 Resistance feelings and of Robin Hood - obviously he was given a sling just to make a difference. :D
Still not found a new figurine for the main Character in this project.
the gang is ready but......without a true leader.

No this is in no way an acceptable Thierry. Or maybe Jean-Claude Drouot with ten more years in the belly!
Hi everyone
No this is in no way an acceptable Thierry. Or maybe Jean-Claude Drouot with ten more years in the belly!
Et tu peux rajouter dix ans pour la tranche d'âge des nostalgiques!
Las que ferait un Thierry La Fronde aujourd'hui, seul sur une plage normande à crier ( Thierry would be today a very lonely man on a norman beach complaining):
Mar somes! ou estes vos Engles ? Point ne venez fors nos affronter lor que vos avez brexit annoncez! Si avons gran duel de vos.
And the wind would answer him:
A, thou arte the man in the worlde we stille most hate, therefore thou shalt silent thee or be slayne by bowe shotte. For everyone would know that the power of the old mighty english longbow had recently been restored.
Philippe, 63 years old fan.
Hi Nervisfr
Thierry has a face that makes me think of some Dixon figures... maybe you should have a look in this way. And use the head with a mediaval body.
Cheers
Philippe
Well done, Eric!
The new Thierry is now complete !
They'll be use for some skirmish games but not for this project.

airfix what a trip on memory lane
If you know this box, you are an old wargamer lol lol lol
I had them as well. My “Hoods” were in green and the Sherrif’s men were in silver.

Great looking bunch of peasants

An easy prey for the soldiery ;)
As I often told the public in medieval re-enactments (in the role of a bad-humoured squire):
"They say that Robin des Bois (Robin Hood) was stealing from the rich. I find more practical to steal from the poor. They have not much money, but there is many of them, and they are less able to defend themselves."
Good job on those! I like their subdued colors! Eager to see them based! Cheers!
