Just seen a thread on Steve Dean's site; Red Star are releasing a range of French paras for Indochina sculpted by Paul Hicks!

Excellent. :-* :-* :-*


 At last, I too have been waiting a long time for these. Kinda handy for dropping on Suez or the early part of the Algerian War too. Would be nice if they expanded to cover the later bits. Look forward to their Vietminh.

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Are you suggesting he hasn't already been cloned?
How else can is he turning out (lovely) figures at such a rate?

Now we need some figers to represent the UN and communist forces for the Korean war. Then all bets are off for world war 3, 1950s.

Beautiful models, but I do not want to be distracted by more shiny, shiny.
Hopefully will not be at SALUTE as I might just waver.
Have read a fair bit about this conflict and have always been fascinated by the French military thanks to Heller kits.

I really shouldn't be getting so excited about these, I already have a bucket load of the excellent Eureka 15mm versions, most unpainted, plus a goodly selection of guns, tanks trucks etc...........

but it's so hard not to. :D  Fortunately something else, very dear to my heart is about to appear in the next couple of weeks, so I'll be able to wait for the release of these.

Oh and guys, if you are listening, some head variants in Bigeard caps and berets would be nice for those of us who want to fight Algeria.

Paul Hicks "The Sculptor who never sleeps"... nice tag line that.  lol

Well... words can not adequately convey my feelings about this range, although I have to ask where are the Anthony Quinn and Alain Delon look-a-likes?

;)
