I’m putting a team of these together but couldn’t wait for parts on the other 3 to come before showing you haha. This one still needs finishing (got some op. Serval patches incoming and need to seriously tidy the legionnaire scroll) plus weathering. The helmet is BBI Bruno Spectre helmet with a custom paint job
This is a French Foreign Legionnaire 2eme REP on Operation Serval ca 2013. These guys parachuted in to Mali during this operation which became Operation Barkhane in 2014. This is the hunt for ISIS in Africa.
Anyhow here is one of 4-5. He wears the M52 Ranger boot still due to the parachute jump (unsure if this is real reason but have for multiple references wearing these over desert boots)
Hope you like. Diorama will also change. Will be doing another 4-5 legionnaires from more current years after this project.
Thanks - however I am going on photos I have as reference pics of them over there. I initially had those boots on, but I have several with these which is why I am using them.
haha thanks. Yes I am currently waiting for more too and trying to find more of the daguet pants. Think I might need to buy several box sets of the SS085 figure to get the multiples of parts I need
