Group Franc

[Wilkins]

I finally got round to painting a pack of Crusader's Group Franc but I had no idea what one of them was supposed to be wearing. I had a crack at it anyway but was just wondering if anyone has a painted example so I can see if I was close to the mark.

It was the gent on the bottom right of the pic I had issues with.

do you mean his helmet?

[Wilkins]

No, the helmets are just covered Adriens I think. It was more that the guy appears to be wearing a furry waistcoat. Was just interested to see how other people had painted it.

Can't really tell from the pic, but is it possible that it's a sheepskin waistcoat, like the one worn by the Franc-Tireur on the far right of this pic?



Or these guys...




Or this guy...

[Wilkins]

Yes I believe it is supposed to be that! And consequently I've painted it right. Thanks a lot Plynkes, really useful photos. Where did you get them from?

[Plynkes]

Just a quick internet search. I knew I had seen French soldiers and Resistance types in sheepskins, so thought it wouldn't be too hard to find a pic or two on the net with the right search terms.

Well, it's appreciated thank you!
