Nice figure work

Thanks! Only time I've been able to do decent eyebrows!

All he needs is a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth... 

It's great to see first Indochina war stuff. It's an interesting subject matter. Good job!

Cat whiskers cut to the proper length make perfect 1/35 cigarettes.I'm just putting that out there. 

Thanks! Very interesting about the cat whiskers!

Always been interested in the First Indochina War - realy wish there were more figures for the conflict.

Bravo6 from Russia have some great resin Indochina war 1/35 figures.

There are a few out there from various makers in resin. You can also modify some older Heller/Testors figures with new heads. They are in French uniforms and have French weapons as well as the US types. The main thing is they need new heads, and perhaps hands...

Good point with the Heller sets. Painted a TSSD US infantryman up as a FFL paratrooper a few years back (US jungle jacket, British pants) but couldn't get the camo right.

I believe there was a company a few years back that had resin figures kitted out in bush hats, but I cannot remember who it was.

I think Warriors did some Legionaire figures awhile back. And of course there are always Hornet head sets with their various types of headgear.

I did the Warriors figure last year. I traded the Bren gun for a FM 24/29 and gave him a beard. 

Very nice - that's a good beard!
