Title: FRONTIERSMEN - Coureurs de Bois 28mm FIW
Post by: JOHN BOND on 12 March 2021, 09:42:50 PM
I managed to utilise some leftover miniatures, 4 figures from my Warlord games French Marines and 2 Rangers from my BrigadeGames Kickstarter  to create these Frontiersmen, also known as Coureurs de Bois.

Apart from painting them in different colours, I modelled  beards to all the figures  with Green Stuff putty and with the help of a pair of pliers reshaped some of the hats.

Very nice work.
FIW, one of my favorite gaming subjects, offers so many opportunities for figure adaptations.

Your painting style is beautiful and I like the way you sculpted the beards.
