Britains Deetail French Foriegn Legion

 Linked to my Funny Little Wars idea I have now finished painting the French Foreign Legion (FFL) infantry.  As with all Deetail figures the mouldings are quite nice and look so much better with a little painting. I have enough for a couple of companies  and a Gatling Gun.  They will be supported by a squadron of cavalry, which I painted a couple of weeks ago.

The whole unit:

The Gatling gun

And the Bedouin Arabs, twice as many cavalry as the FFL:

As well as around 50 foot:

Most of the Arabs are still in their rather gaudy factory finish.  At some point I will paint them all.  In the meantime, I have just repainted the bases to get rid of the lime green colour.
