Hello,
I want to represente the indian tribes over time or Canada was french, because unfortunately many of thes tribes disappeared. This is to pay tribute to those men died for France, Englans, or simply to live free.
To date I created 4 dioramas, then 4 power point or I take photo by photo, the particuliarities of thess tribes (Museums informations, books, etc)
Clothings (leggings, mocassins, bags, etc.), the hairs, war paint, etc.
But I have some problems with my blog. Also do not hesitate to follow the adress given above.
I hope to see on the table games, indians with the peculiarities of each of these tribes and not always the same indian, jus with a different name....

Thanks for posting, I've been looking for exactly this kind of information!

Since I got started on my Song of Drums & Tomahawks project, I've wanted to build a couple different Native American forces, and I've been looking for some way of differentiating them that is supported by history.  The Osprey book that I have is very nice, but unfortunately a bit lacking in that particular regard.

I would be interested in checking out some of your sources, too, if they're published in print or online.  I read a little French, enough to cobble together a rudimentary understanding, and my wife is fluent, so I can get translations from her as necessary.

Excellent Huron  :)

Did Les Francais wear just leggings and a breach clout, same as the Indians?
Title: Re: fox indian
Post by: Huron34 on 24 June 2015, 09:09:40 PM
For the" courreurs des bois", yes,  many  have as only breeclout and leggings as indians!
But for the soldiers of "Compagnies Franches de Marine" normaly no! Have leggings above the "chausse"

As Huron34 says, not normally, but it did happen at least once. The French leader of the attack on Braddock's column, de Beaujeu, was reportedly stripped to the waist and wore war paint at that battle. It makes a good excuse to use some artistic license.

I quite agree, they're the best sculpts out there for Native Americans.  8) 8) 8)

Pretty nifty brushwork too  :-*

Exact AARON,
Many leaders or soldiers lived with the indians and thus got dressed and reflected the face or the body as them. The same goes for the tatoos.
They are numerous descriptions summits by officiers of the french regiments of lines confirming this facts.

Conquest has a wonderful range of miniatures and you have really brought them to life. Amazing work.
