Hmmm..
Great that you are doing French for VSF. I think the foreign legion idea might not be such a bad one though...they did certainly get about among all of France's far flung empire from Mexico to the Far East and had a variety of uniforms. Possibly (unless we are looking at a VSF refight of European battles) they could be the mainstay of a colonial VSF French army together with their Turcos and Zoaves (perhaps from the Sanwar?) I'm putting one together for actions on Mars at the moment.
Getting away from the historical I know, but I love the idea of using these models as VSF foreign legion. I'd need a spare kidney to buy them though...


a bit more than the old mule patrols!

But anyway, love the see some mounted figures on something like this...non steam driven! I look forward to seeing what you produce, French maids aside.
