So Wayne, if you don’t care ...why are you still commenting..?

I think it’s always useful to probe the facts behind the actual figure, in this case what a French parish priest looked like during WW II. This doesn’t take away from Duke’s scene as the figure of the Pope is what he had to work with. Perhaps this will lead Andy to make a parish priest for the FOB series. That can’t be a bad thing.

I totally agree Brad.
All the best,

Well done Duke! As was previously said.....the little girl and the priest make the scene.

Excellent set up. Your scene could pass as an actual photo from the war itself.

Hi Duke,

Great Dio....So as to fix the priest related matter..

White walking robe is reserved only for the Pope, the cleargy wears black robes. As this figure that depicts the Pope comes with a sash and a skull cap, what you can do is paint the robe black, the sash and cap red and you have a regular bishop....
e.i. the priest figures you may have seen wearing white robes, were priests giving mass, then inveriably sometimes the indoors robes can be white and other simbolic colours depending on the church events/calendar.
Cheers

Thanks everybody for the comments.

The para with the map comes with the old M8 Greyhound set.

That's just a regular priest and not the Pope. (even though the figure is supposed to be the Pope) I'm not Catholic so don't know the dress code for priest/Pope but think I've seen lots of regular priests with white robes. Not sure about the white cap though if that has some significant meaning. Maybe someone who is Catholic or knows could chime in as to whether this figure could pass as a regular priest and not the Pope.
