Lovely work Capt! :-* spot on posing, modelling and painting as usual! 8)

Is there a story behind the coloured chap leading the group?.....or is that just a personal choice?

He’s a Senegalese scout Andy. I just happened to have him on the painting table at the same time, so popped him into the scene. I’ve got about another dozen Senegalese and another 20 white Vichy French troops to paint, including HMG and mortar team, plus a couple more artillery pieces. Then that’s my Vichy French collection done (unless some more interesting French vehicles happen along  :))

Any suggestions for the colour of the Artillery pieces? I have a couple of the Perry pieces on my workbench and would like ideas. :)

Thanks gents  :)

I'm afraid I'm no expert. I just went with a medium green (VMC 'Russian Uniform') for my 75mm Vichy field gun (below).
I have the rather intriguing mountain gun to do next - which looks like a WW1 relic, so I may go with something a bit more whimsical on that :)

This thread is an inspiration. I do not game this period of the war but I do appreciate the work that has gone into each unique creation. So 2 days of my leave was spent looking at 108 pages... time well spent and thank you for sharing your magnificent work.
