[Ray Earle]

I wont bother to use period pictures in future as reference

Nah, just make it all up in your head. Much more fun. 

Great sculpting as usual Mr. Hicks.

Though you might have ruined the heads with Bigeard caps for me, as now, when I look at the head in the centre and all I can see his HRH Prince Charles

Okay, I see that now... the resemblance is rather uncanny, I admit.

A fiver says that when he gets around to doing Geneviève de Galard, the famous and heroic nurse at Dien Bien Phu, she looks just like Camilla.

I think I'm beginning to warm to the idea of a 28mm version of Spitting Image.

what lets You think that his father's family might not have spread the family genes (and thus theit gorgeous look) throughout Europe? 
Prince of Greece and Denmark and son of Battenberg? served in the Mediterranean fleet..... there could be a couple of such faces in every harbour....

Are these new heads going to be available separately or as new options for the existing figures?

I have to say these are very tempting models indeed. I have stayed away from the American involvement for a number of reasons, but mainly because it is a painful memory for many people here in the United States. As a kid The name Dien Bien Phu was like some strange flame a moth is attracted to. I can't really explain it, but it has appealed to me for years. I'm a 28mm gamer because it is easier on my eyes, and I like to be able to handle figures easily. I'm mostly a skirmish gamer due to budget constraints, and time constraints as well. I think these are figures I have been waiting for for the last 35 years. Thank you Mr. Hicks!

Brilliant work from Hicksy as usual! The faces are great.
