French Foreign Legion patrol in Indochina, circa 1899 (1 Viewer)

[jules118]

A legion patrol makes it way back to the Citadel through Hanoi's crowded streets circa 1899.

Legion figures from Kronprinz, with a mixture of JJD, K&C and some local made figures I picked up in Burma a few years back making up the rest of the scene.

Great dio and mixing of different manufacturers works well.
Reminds me of the East of India French colonial marines I bought some years back.... the best pieces from that EOI series by far I thought.
Thanks for sharing.

Very nice grouping of different figures. Love the colonial French.
