Chris, that's a beautiful D-V. It is Vfw Otto Konnecke's, of the famous Jasta 5 Green Tails. Konnecke survived the war as a 35 victory ace and winner of the Blue Max. This is a really sharp looking aircraft. TGM did a great job. Another nice get.^&cool -- AlLatest TGM addition, the Albatros D.V. Chris

These are the recent releases from Obee´s magic workshop....enroute to joining the rest of the Regiment already delpoyed.....the sets are this time mainly focused on machinegun detachments and kneeling Legionnaires to fight from behind sand bags and other protection......The two man squads manning the Hotchkiss L.M.Gs are assembled to have the bipods resting on the parapet of the fort or sand bags...The detachment using the Vickers is part of the heavy machinegun detachment......As it is known the Legion would use all the hand downs that French Army had, and given that these soldiers represent the Legion around 1920....it was natural to see this assortment of medium support weapons....cheers

I believe if I am not mistaken I read somewhere in K&C Dispatches a while ago from Andy himself hinted after the British & French Artillery have all been released and digested, more Napoleonic Hussars are being released in fighting poses
I dont think he said whether they were British or French and if French whether they were the 7th Hussars or another Regiment But awaiting with some anticipation{sm4} The British 10th Hussars would be really nice.^&cool

Although I care little about scale (in general), I tired these FL Indians and the JJD RSF Indians and there is NO way that they will work.
However, they fit better with some of the older Frontline sets (size wise), but not to close in sculpting and painting.
But to be fair, you are comparing apples to oranges with FL <Frontliine>

Great detail, but have to ask why does First Legion continue to persist with such a limited range of head sculpts, it's especially obvious in this set, same heads with minor differences.
nice set of indjuns. I think the face sculpts look different and detailed. can you make subtle changes to one sculpt? I think one is looking straight ahead chap in front whilst one is looking away and the rear chap is looking with eyes at least up
All different. I would like to buy this it looks cool

Check the American Revolution - Woodland Indian section of the First Legion website where you will find more images of available figures, you may change your mind, or continue to enjoy 'denial', it's ok with me either way.

Matt, I don't disagree with you. However, this might not be the best forum to raise the issue on. Members post to this sub-forum, in part, to celebrate their new purchases. I can't see offering critiques of their product selections under those circumstances.

Picked up one of the mass battle Rebs and one of the regular FL Artillery officers and posted side by side so you can compare. The Mass battle figure is actually really well done. John had them all at Gettysburg and the looked well done. The only major difference I noticed is the face is not as detailed and the flags didn't have the weathered look that the other lines have. But for 36 it is outstanding value.

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the support. I was afraid that I was going to catch some flak for ending one of my sentences in a preposition. What a relief!:wink2:
