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.

Berets loose heads from Empress (Hicks) SCW range?

Nope.
Em dezembro de '81
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

Hi Guys & Gals  :D

We are hoping, emphasis on the hoping, to have stock of these fantastic figures at Salute.  :o

Its in the hands of the Red Star guys at the moment.

See you there.  ;)

Hi guys,

Thanks for all your nice comments and support. It has been a long journey to get there but I must say that it was definitively worth the wait  :D

We will of course make other heads in the future, firstly with Bush hats, then with the Para cap (Bigeard style)...

We will also make a figure of Bigeard himself, but first we will take a look at these sly commies  >:D

We are planning more support, like the recoilless gun and ultimately we want to expand the range toward Algeria...

But first let us say a BIG BIG thanks to Paul for all his wonderful work and for saving our project  :-*

I hate Mr Hicks...

Wonderful figures, for a period I like a lot. I would like to see, also, tank and amtrack crews to use with the Stuarts and LVT´s there were in this conflict.

A fantastic news!!!

Will you be selling the heads separately like you have with your Chechnya range? I could see myself buying bush hats for conversions.

Gosh, that takes me back... you're talking about the 80's era part-work right?  :o

But no, it's just one of my bugbears... nobody seems to like to add Vietnamese to a range, other than (grudgingly) the compulsory opposition. Even if the odd token pack is added, they are usually as tall as the Europeans in any case.

Ironically, in the wargaming world there's no love for the 'little people' apparently...  ;)

Oh yes, they will be mine!

And while we're on the topic of headgear, how about some kepi's for the Legion?
They call me "Point Cow"
